On the one hand, a wrapper is quick & easy, and it's compatible with future revisions to zlib. On the other hand, zlib has been stable for years and seems unlikely to change. A port would show that D is capable of efficiently compiling it (unlike, say, the Java zlib wrapper which relies on a DLL written in C). I did a port of regexp rather than a wrapper for just that reason. A port will also expose any weaknesses in D that I need to fix. -Walter "Sean L.

How You think, should it ported "directly" (structured programming) or converted to OO concepts.
