We're experimenting with it, but no decisions yet.

Pros:

- single-file source distribution we can copy directly into fossil
- drop-in replacement for zlib

Cons:

- not as well tested as zlib. Appears to work on most projects, but some
(according to the ticket list) are having problems.


So far the performance reports have been mixed: a tiny bit faster on my
machine, and others have reported a tiny bit slower.
