actually - for websites so far, this seems to be used only by facebook/etc.

I did notice it, considered whether to delay another week to do this.

But since I'm not aware of any useful websites relying upon zstd,
I put it off for "soon" (patches will be duly considered).
It also would help to see websites using the feature.

2.9.2 is basically fixes prompted by feedback from 2.9.1 :-)

sure - there's enough in Lynx now for gzip and brotli that the patter should
be easy to follow.
