Development headers for custom compression for CRAM and others

This library implements the custom CRAM codecs used for "EXTERNAL" block types. These consist of two variants of the rANS codec (8-bit and 16-bit renormalisation, with run-length encoding and bit-packing also supported in the latter), a dynamic arithmetic coder, and custom codecs for name/ID compression and quality score compression derived from fqzcomp.

They come with small command line test tools to act as both compression exploration programs and as part of the test harness.

This package contains the development headers
