Yes, you can use it, but you cannot mount that images with current
versions of cloop. Simply because nobody cared to update compressloop to
create the new format, and it also did not support advanced zip library
either.

Using which version of create_compressed_fs? In the meantime I have
rewritten create_compressed_fs (aka advfs) to have (almost) all the
features from compressloop, plus multithreading and network
client/server mode, so you can take the full advantage of
multi(core)-CPU systems and/or a set of network nodes (cluster).
