Klaus Post 42ad1dc01e compress/flate: add pure huffman deflater
Add a "HuffmanOnly" compression level, where the input is
only entropy encoded.

The output is fully inflate compatible. Typical compression
is reduction is about 50% of typical level 1 compression, however
the compression time is very stable, and does not vary as much as
nearly as much level 1 compression (or Snappy).

This mode is useful for:
 * HTTP compression in a CPU limited environment.
 * Entropy encoding Snappy compressed data, for archiving, etc.
 * Compression where compression time needs to be predictable.
 * Fast network transfer.

Snappy "usually" performs inbetween this and level 1 compression-wise,
but at the same speed as "Huffman", so this is not a replacement,
but a good supplement for Snappy, since it usually can compress
Snappy output further.

This is implemented as level -2, since this would be too much of a
compression reduction to replace level 1.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
