This is important. Please add a comment in do_zeroes_compress().

I would really like a more generic RLE version that copes with any repeated byte value. It will be dirt simple, not much code and no dependecies, thus always included.
Possibly lar should even try to autodetect suitable candidates for RLE compression. But note that the flashfiller file is a special case that must never be RLE compressed.
