Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm whose compression level sett=
ings provide a wide range between speed and size.  At the default settings,=
 it compresses more and faster than gzip and at the other extreme it approa=
ches the compression effectiveness of lzma but in a fraction of the time.

I created a set of thick bindings against the recent v0.8.0 version.  Those=
 cover the stable API (basic compression / decompression and use of diction=
aries). The API for streaming compression / decompression is not yet stable=
, and as such it is only available in the static library.  Once streaming d=
e/compression is provided in the shared library, I'll update the bindings t=
o support it as well.
