   2.0  25 Apr 2008  Complete redesign for recovery of interrupted operations
                     Interface changed slightly in that now path is a prefix
                     Compression now occurs as needed during gzlog_write()
                     gzlog_write() now always leaves the log file as valid gzip
   2.1   8 Jul 2012  Fix argument checks in gzlog_compress() and gzlog_write()

/*
   The gzlog object allows writing short messages to a gzipped log file,
   opening the log file locked for small bursts, and then closing it.  The log
   object works by appending stored (uncompressed) data to the gzip file until
   1 MB has been accumulated.  At that time, the stored data is compressed, and
   replaces the uncompressed data in the file.  The log file is truncated to
   its new size at that time.  After each write operation, the log file is a
   valid gzip file that can decompressed to recover what was written.

The gzlog operations can be interupted at any point due to an application or
   system crash, and the log file will be recovered the next time the log is
   opened with gzlog_open().

/* Open a gzlog object, creating the log file if it does not exist.  Return
   NULL on error.  Note that gzlog_open() could take a while to complete if it
   has to wait to verify that a lock is stale (possibly for five minutes), or
   if there is significant contention with other instantiations of this object
   when locking the resource.  path is the prefix of the file names created by
   this object.  If path is "foo", then the log file will be "foo.gz", and
   other auxiliary files will be created and destroyed during the process:
   "foo.dict" for a compression dictionary, "foo.temp" for a temporary (next)
   dictionary, "foo.add" for data being added or compressed, "foo.lock" for the
   lock file, and "foo.repairs" to log recovery operations performed due to
   interrupted gzlog operations.  A gzlog_open() followed by a gzlog_close()
   will recover a previously interrupted operation, if any. */

   files have permissions or ownership that prevent their use), -2 if there is
   a memory allocation failure, or -3 if the log argument is invalid (e.g. if
   it was not created by gzlog_open()).  This function will write data to the

   appending, it will both significantly increase the execution time and
   reduce the compression ratio.  The return codes are the same as for
   gzlog_write(). */
