We inherited gzip compression API from spdylay codebase. In spdylay,
the cost of having such API is almost free because spdylay requires
zlib for header compression. nghttp2 no longer uses gzip to header
compression. zlib dependency exists just for gzip compression API,
which is not an essential. So we decided to move gzip code to under
src and remove zlib dependency from libnghttp2 itself. As nghttp2
package, we depend on zlib to compile tools under src.
Since the name of the file is 'libnghttp2*' I think we should use the
full name within it as well (for the Name: field), as it gets confusing
otherwise for users and for pkg-config.
Also, 'Requires.private' breaks pkg-config's ability to extract -I etc
from the Cflags below it. I believe it should be 'Libs.private' and the
right side should then list the libs with -l.
With these changes, I've successfully written a configure script to
find and use libnghttp2.
