I didn't know it was that easy (primarily because I didn't know zlib had a
ready-to-eat interface to do this).

Yes, though I think it may be worth doing the more flexible,
external-filters approach. See elsewhere in the thread.

Given the relatively trivial code, isn't it worth doing both...?

One method for flexibility/multi-threaded-speed, the other for
portability/robustness (doesn't depend on configuration / setup
details)...
