Primary credit goes to Antoine Dumesnil de Maricourt (dumesnil@etca.fr),
who initiated the project and wrote the patches against linux kernel 1.2
and e2fsck-1.01, from which the current patches are derived.  Antoine
also went most of the way towards writing the utilities that now
accompany these patches.

J.L Gailly and M. Adler wrote the code used for the inflate algorithm.
It is part of the zlib package (0.93).  (E2compr folks mainly just
introduced new bugs into it.)

H. Vogt wrote the original code for the lzv algorithm.

Ross Williams wrote the original code for the lzrw3a algorithm.

B. Poulot-Cazajous allowed Antoine to test the e2compress patch under a
professional benchmark.  "This has been really useful in order to answer
a couple of queries."

D. Niemi adapted the patch to 1.3.9 kernel.

Many other early testers made useful suggestions that helped improve the
distribution.

P. Moulder finished off most of the utilities, kept the patches up to
date with linux-2.0 and e2fsck, corrected one or two bugs in the
kernel code, and is the current maintainer.

Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk> modified the patches to work with
linux-2.1.24.  (Kernel access to user space has changed between 2.0.n
and 2.1.24.)

Gabor Toth <jtoth@iki.kfki.hu> suggested setting the e2compr settings
during `make *config', and found the `choice' keyword.  (Peter was
going to implement it using an `int', thinking that tcl knowledge
would be required to do better.)
