It is one thinks I want to do today. Problem is that gzip itself
is long. I will have to dig out deflate code and make suitable test.
(using whole gzip or whole crafty is IMO bad, because compilation time
would increase significantly)

I've done naive implementations of recursive hanoi solver and quicksort,
wich is first of these. Especially quicksort shows VERY interesting behaviour.
Of course I will welcome other code too.
I also want to use dryrstoe benchmark and dig out suitable tests from byte
benchmarks.
