ZipWriteStream is the superclass for both GZipWriteStream and
ZLibWriteStream and implements the full LZ77 algorithm (I think you were
talking about ZipArchive which has files in an archive; ZipWriteStream
doesn't). The difference between GZip and ZLib is minimal: Different
headers, footers and checksum algorithm. Other than that they are identical.
