I would like to use the Inflater/Deflater from a java-program to 
communicate with a c-program using the zlib impl. In my case I can't
do this due to the fact that I can't do Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH, it would IMHO
be VERY nice if the "native" zlib inflate/deflate were exposed in
the Inflater/Deflater classes, this would make the use more generic.
