Do we want to use all of jazzlib in libgcj or do we just want to
continue using zlib?
Switching to jazzlib doesn't mean we can delete zlib from the
repository -- we will still need it for gcj. So there isn't a
significant maintenance win there.
Even so I think there is a maintenance benefit to merging with
Classpath. For one thing it means more potential bug-fixers for the
code.
How much does the performance of this code matter to us? And how much
does performance suffer with jazzlib? Those are interesting
questions.
