Thanks.
I'm okay with adding support for zstd to Emacs, but I'm not sure we
should complicate the build with offering yet another compression
option. Up front, I don't think the advantages of zstd are really so
overwhelming that they will justify the complexity.
So maybe split the patch series in two; the part that adds zstd
support to Emacs can be installed already.
