/*
Digby: A multi-file copmressor

There are some drawbacks to this application.
1) You can't compress multiple files or a folder at this moment.
2) It puts the files into memory, which is bad if the file you want to compress
	is bigger than the memory you have.
3) There's no support for using the `*` modifier for compressing all files in
	working directory.
