This updates the OS_CODE determination at compile time to match as
closely as possible the operating system mappings documented in
the PKWare APPNOTE.TXT version 6.3.4, section 4.4.2.2. That byte
in the gzip header is used by nobody for anything, as far as I can
tell. However we might as well try to set it appropriately.
This patch allows zlib to compile cleanly with the -Wcast-qual gcc
warning enabled, but only if ZLIB_CONST is defined, which adds
const to next_in and msg in z_stream and in the in_func prototype.
A --const option is added to ./configure which adds -DZLIB_CONST
to the compile flags, and adds -Wcast-qual to the compile flags
when ZLIBGCCWARN is set in the environment.
Using optimized byte swaps reduced portability for no real benefit,
since they are in parts of the code that represent a tiny fraction
of the execution time. So a simple definition of a byte swap is
now used.
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.
