There is at least one "real" use of this library, acid-store. If this were merged it should be done so with a major version bump to prevent breakages. |

Fixes #6
This changes the ZPAQ parameters to match the official ZPAQ C++ lib's implementations.
Of course it causes the hashes and the chunks to be different and is therefore a breaking change. In addition, it still doesn't match the official implementation exactly, since it has specific limits on the chunk sizes as well, which are optional here.
I do not know if it is worth making this change, I am filing this for completeness. On the other hand, the deviations from the official implementation should be documented.
