Although my opinion is that the native zlib is a good idea, I don't think that
"written in C" is only an religious argument.
Bugs happen everywhere, be it with C or Java - but buggy code in Java just
won't work (exception, ...) whereas bad written C code allows to get evil code
in.
The examples with the AWT secuirty hohles in history just prooves it.
