Removing the non ELF boot code actually sounds like a good idea.  Who
wants to commit the changes?

What concerns me is that we are effectively using the same code as in
gunzip, as well as what the kernel uses.  It is close enough a diff
between the version of inflate.c is quite small.  So the bug might
not affect just us.

Additionally one of the things on my todo list is to cleanup my
ELF self decompressor.  And I started with the code in inflate.c.  

So while I really don't care about the non-ELF code path.  I am
personally curious about why we have a bug.  So I am going to complete 
a code review and if I turn up something cool.  If I don't oh well.
But I should  have enough of an understanding of inflate.c to
stabalize it in other contexts.

Eric
