Hi James,

yea, the former is what I meant.
I was a bit unclear when saying "we won't have any zlib dependency anymore",
I rather meant to say "we won't have any zlib dependency anymore for ptx and
resource compression".  Targeting those specific cases only might allow for a much
simpler compression code.

Thanks,
