+		Miniz is a lossless, high performance data compression library in a single source file that implements the zlib
+		(RFC 1950) and Deflate (RFC 1951) compressed data format specification standards. It supports the most commonly
+		used functions exported by the zlib library, but is a completely independent implementation so zlib's licensing
+		requirements do not apply. Miniz also contains simple to use functions for writing .PNG format image files and
+		reading/writing/appending .ZIP format archives. Miniz's compression speed has been tuned to be comparable to
+		zlib's, and it also has a specialized real-time compressor function designed to compare well against
+		fastlz/minilzo.
