## Credits
All the credits are given to the contributors of the [flate2](https://github.com/rust-lang/flate2-rs), since I didn't implement any part of the zlib algorithim.
The rest of the credits goes to the [clap](https://github.com/clap-rs/clap) library, which is just made of awesomeness.
In short this is just a glue between flate2 and clap ;P
