ok, I'll take a look. I'm not sure that I'll finish it tonight.
I need to think about it for a moment. probably it will require
several additional counters in zcomp_strm_multi -- max_strms
and num_strms (num_strms equals to number of currently allocated
streams). user may decrease (for example) max streams while every
available stream is busy (idle list is empty), so we need to check
max_strms and avail_strms while we _put() stream. and we definitely
don't want max_strms for zcomp_strm_multi to be less than 2  :-)

so far I've address your notes and concerns -- no CONFIG option,
both multi and single streams options, etc.
