Heh. :) Somehow I think he's got it covered. That reimplementation of 
zlib in ruby is actually pretty cool. I'm curious Park, as to how much 
you did by hand and how much you were able to automate it...?

I've put the deflate code i wrote on pastie - http://pastie.org/355367

It's about 600 lines, but needs cleaning up. Will probably be ~500 when 
I've added in dynamic trees and cleaned it up a bit.

Prelim benchmarks show the current bottleneck to be the LZ77 
implementation which is interesting. I think for it to perform 
acceptably, a lot more of the code needs to become more idiomatic, 
higher-level ruby.
