 <Mitch_Bradley> the spec file could be augmented to indicate that the
 chunks are zlib-compressed

 <Mitch_Bradley> the granularity could be anything that would fit in memory

 <Mitch_Bradley> it could be specified by the spec file

 <cjb> ok.  so we'd need to work out how to compress one <unit> at a time
 separately, and write out a spec file that matches that data, and OFW
 could do the rest

 <Mitch_Bradley> yes

 <Mitch_Bradley> it might be worthwhile to make each compressed chunk a
 full .zip image

 <Mitch_Bradley> .zip headers are rather efficient

 <Mitch_Bradley> I think you would want to use something like split to
 break the image into chunks, then run each chunk through the encoder, then
 concatenate
