/*
 * Simple LZ77 streaming compressor.
 *
 * The scheme implemented here doesn't use a hash table and instead does a brute
 * force search in the history for a previous string.  It is relatively slow
 * (but still O(N)) but gives good compression and minimal memory usage.  For a
 * small history window (eg 256 bytes) it's not too slow and compresses well.
