The main changes since 0.9 are:
- don't assume that char is signed (problem on SGI)

- Document the memory requirements in zconf.h
- added "make install"
- added support for DJGPP
- added support for DJGPP and Pyramid
- fix an inflate bug for stored blocks.
- various speedups
On MSDOS, this version works in both large and small model. However
small model compression works only for small values of MAX_MEM_LEVEL
