what are the pieces and data that I need to compress.
I've done something similar years ago using AHK, where I
compressed using zlib, then turned it to base64 so I could post
it and pass it around as text. Still simply using the zlib API
should be enough, especially if you provide all the memory
management or fixed buffers of what you expect the data to fit in.
If you just need to decompress one string (that's a file or
stream), you can prepend a header and then use gzip to decompress
it.
