The Microsoft CAB file format compresses each block with completed
deflate streams that depend on the sliding window history of the
previous block in order to decode. inflateResetKeep() does what
inflateReset() does, except the sliding window history from the
previous inflate operation is retained.
A common request has been the ability to compile zlib to require no
other libraries. This --solo option provides that ability. The price
is that the gz*, compress*, and uncompress functions are eliminated,
and that the user must provide memory allocation and free routines to
deflate and inflate when initializing.
This also moves some of the same from zconf.h to gzguts.h. A new
function, gzflags(), was created to pass the compilation flags
related to vsnprintf usage back to zlibCompileFlags() in zutil.c.
In the process, various compiler configuration files were updated
to include gzflags(), as well as the new gzgetc_() function added
when the gzgetc() macro was introduced in a previous patch.
Previously the new gz* functions (introduced in 1.2.4) would read and
return raw data after the last gzip stream. This is inconsistent with
the behavior of gzip and the previous versions of zlib. Now when one
or more gzip streams have been decoded from the file, which is then
followed by data that is not a gzip stream (as detemined by not finding
the magic header), then that subsequent trailing garbage is ignored,
and no error is returned.
Also added "-motley" to ZLIB_VERSION in zlib.h, so that versions
in-between 1.2.5.1 and 1.2.5.2 that are pulled down from github
can be identified as such if bugs are reported on them.
