+shortdesc The Zlib library package.
+longdesc A Massively Spiffy Yet Delicately Unobtrusive Compression Library.
+longdesc Zlib is designed to be a free, general-purpose, legally
+longdesc unencumbered -- that is, not covered by any patents -- lossless
+longdesc data-compression library for use on virtually any computer
+longdesc hardware and operating system. The zlib data format is itself
+longdesc portable across platforms. Unlike the LZW compression method used
+longdesc in Unix compress(1) and in the GIF image format, the compression
+longdesc method currently used in zlib essentially never expands the data.
+longdesc (LZW can double or triple the file size in extreme cases.) zlib's
+longdesc memory footprint is also independent of the input data and can be
+longdesc reduced, if necessary, at some cost in compression.
