The docs for the zlib module are quite out of date, although I think
the docstrings may be better (not necessarily completely up-to-date
thought :-).  The specific parameters to pass to zlib don't seem to be
documented anywhere either; IIRC I dug them out of some example C code
somewhere that used zlib to read Zip files.
