Information about the compression library used in libSBML.

The following files in this directory were borrowed from MiniZip version 1.01e
(http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html) implemented by Gilles Vollant.

   1. crypt.h
   2. ioapi.c
   3. ioapi.h
   4. iowin32.c
   5. iowin32.h
   6. unzip.c*
   7. unzip.h
   8. zip.c*
   9. zip.h

Files with * have been modified from their original versions of MiniZip
1.0.1e in order to address compilation warnings on some platforms.

Also, zip/unzip specific code in zipfstream.h and zipfstream.cpp in this 
directory are based on the following files in MiniZip version 1.0.1e.

   1. minizip.c
   2. miniunz.c
