compress/compress2 is just a wrapper around deflateinit, deflate, and
deflateend (which operate on streams).

we use compress2, compressbound (which is actually just multiplying some
constants times te source length passed in), and uncompress.
We could expand the functions to be in terms of deflate/etc, but that
seems wrong if we can get them to expose it.
