New issue 36 by jwzurawski: Correct NDT compressed log file extension
http://code.google.com/p/ndt/issues/detail?id=36

Currently NDT is using zlib to handle compression, specifically
trunk/src/logging.c makes calls to the zlib deflate() function to compress
the log files.  This example code from an on-line tutorial, but this does
not make them 'gzip' files.

The http://www.zlib.net/zlib_how.html page contains the example used to
write the deflate routine.  Pulling the zpipe.c file off of this web page,
and compiling it will be enough to uncompress the snaplog and tcpdump log
files.

The 'fix' in this case should be to note this, and change the extension to
note that these are not zip files.
