=3D Have you considered submitting these patches to the vendor?

I have and I did :) The assembly-code is included in the vendor's release, =
but=20
in the part of it, which we do not import. The vendor has a contrib/=20
subdirectory, where various assembler-implementations are kept.

The vendor would not maintain those, however... Because the assembler code=
=20
needs to know the offsetts of various fields in the libz structures, it mus=
t=20
rely on the offsets-generating auxiliary C-program, which is not included i=
n=20
the original patch submitted.
