Go ahead, it has been sitting and waiting for you to come around. The
SRFI process is partly why that code already has the MIT license on it.

There are missing features, as I'm sure you're aware. The zlib code is
likely to be far from optimal; it has some uninlineable code that should
be done differently. When writing those libraries my focus was mostly on
consuming some popular compression formats and I never got around to
implementing the compression algorithms themselves.
