Well for windows zlib would still be a good choice... just add find_package( ZLIB ), like the present find_package( Tidy ), etc, in CMakeLists.txt, since at lease most Windows developers are very, VERY likely to have ZLIB installed, as it is needed for a **lot** of projects...
And already have to setup the PATH to include other DLL's, like CURL... to run eb...
But also understand this is not high priority... and actually compression would certainly add a lot of other wrinkles, that may not be worth the effort... and in Windows, a large EXE footprint, and allocating lots of memory is the norm, and Windows handles it well...
Just for information, the eb Windows Release EXE is 1.9 MB, the Debug is 3 MB, plus 3.3 MB pdb, and 1.1 MB ilk files... and on loading the nasa.gov site, using the MSVC debugger, shows some 67 MB of process memory used, and takes about 3.5 minutes to load, using about 25% of the CPU power, like 1 core, before falling to 0, waiting for the next input... relatively quite a light-weight app compared to some I play with...
So do not see any concern about eb memory usage... in Windows at least... so shaving 50-100 K likewise does not seem worth the effort...
