Hi Aaron,

I'm just working zlib for JRuby now. Just out of curiosity, what are
you using crc32_combine and adler32_combile for?

I have a process that feeds me checksums and chunks of data, but those
chunks are getting buffered to be sent later (without the previously
mentioned process's knowledge).  Since the data is getting buffered, the
checksum must be recalculated.

Since my process has access to the checksums and length, it's easier to
use crc32_combine rather than recalculate the checksums for each string
(again).

Thanks for the explanation. It's definitely the functions you need.

And it sounds your usage does not depend on 'zlib' general purpose
compression library. It's good to have crc32 lib instead of extending
zlib I think.

Agreed..this ought to move to a separate lib.
