 Now, the hard part...where should this code live?  I'm thinking a 
src/transport directory seems sensible.
 StreamFilter.[ch] will contain the base StreamFilter along with 
various utility functions.  StreamFilter implementations will reside
in their own subdir.
 src/include/transport/StreamFilter.h src/transport/StreamFilter.c src/transport/zlib/... src/transport/ssl/...

Comments/ideas appreciated.
