Hi everybody,

It seems that I understimated the amount of work involved when porting a
library to GSoC.

We need to create a child process linked against the real library, and
another one linked to another library with the very same interfaces. In
turn this new library (which I called (in a very original way) libzcap)
should ensure that the worker (the child) process is running, and send him
commands to it to do all the compression, decompression stuff.

The main problem I'm having right now is syncing one of the basic structs
used in the library, which can hold 4GB of data.
