Yorhel 8ad61e87c1 Stick with zstd-4 + 64k block, add --compress-level, fix 32bit build
And do dynamic buffer allocation for bin_export, removing 128k of
.rodata that I accidentally introduced earlier and reducing memory use
for parallel scans.

Static binaries now also include the minimal version of zstd, current
sizes for x86_64 are:

  582k ncdu-2.5
  601k ncdu-new-nocompress
  765k ncdu-new-zstd

That's not great, but also not awful. Even zlib or LZ4 would've resulted
in a 700k binary.

# ncdu-zig
## Description
Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find
space hogs on a remote server where you don't have an entire graphical setup
available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims
to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal
POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.
See the [ncdu 2 release announcement](https://dev.yorhel.nl/doc/ncdu2) for
information about the differences between this Zig implementation (2.x) and the
C version (1.x).
## Requirements
- Zig 0.12 or 0.13.
- Some sort of POSIX-like OS
- ncurses
- libzstd
## Install
You can use the Zig build system if you're familiar with that.
There's also a handy Makefile that supports the typical targets, e.g.:
```
make
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
```
