+Encrypt a file using a block cipher in CBC mode. Compresses the plaintext
+with Zlib, MACs with HMAC(SHA-1). Stores the block cipher used in the file,
+so you don't have to specify it when decrypting.
+
+What a real application would do (and what this example should do), is test for
+the presence of the Zlib module, and use it only if it's available. Then add
+some marker to the stream so the other side knows whether or not the plaintext
+was compressed. Bonus points for supporting multiple compression schemes.
+
+Another flaw is that is stores the entire ciphertext in memory, so if the file
+you're encrypting is 1 Gb... you better have a lot of RAM.
+
+Based on the base64 example, of all things
