   8 *  ALGORITHM
   9 *
  10 *      The "deflation" process depends on being able to identify portions
  11 *      of the input text which are identical to earlier input (within a
  12 *      sliding window trailing behind the input currently being processed).
  13 *
  14 *      The most straightforward technique turns out to be the fastest for
  15 *      most input files: try all possible matches and select the longest.
  16 *      The key feature of this algorithm is that insertions into the string
  17 *      dictionary are very simple and thus fast, and deletions are avoided
  18 *      completely. Insertions are performed at each input character, whereas
  19 *      string matches are performed only when the previous match ends. So it
  20 *      is preferable to spend more time in matches to allow very fast string
  21 *      insertions and avoid deletions. The matching algorithm for small
  22 *      strings is inspired from that of Rabin & Karp. A brute force approach
  23 *      is used to find longer strings when a small match has been found.
  24 *      A similar algorithm is used in comic (by Jan-Mark Wams) and freeze
  25 *      (by Leonid Broukhis).
  26 *         A previous version of this file used a more sophisticated algorithm
  27 *      (by Fiala and Greene) which is guaranteed to run in linear amortized
  28 *      time, but has a larger average cost, uses more memory and is patented.
  29 *      However the F&G algorithm may be faster for some highly redundant
  30 *      files if the parameter max_chain_length (described below) is too large.
  31 *
  32 *  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
  33 *
  34 *      The idea of lazy evaluation of matches is due to Jan-Mark Wams, and
  35 *      I found it in 'freeze' written by Leonid Broukhis.
  36 *      Thanks to many people for bug reports and testing.
