New version of Compcache - ZRam

A new version was just uploaded writes the main developer. Now you can use it to mount /tmp there, too:

hg clone https://compcache.googlecode.com/hg/ compcache

The README file in the source root contains information on how to use it. Some of its features include (see Changelog for details):
- Devices are now called /dev/zram ( = 0, 1, 2 ...) instead of ramzswap since they can now handle any kind of I/O and not limited to use as swap.
- Replaced ioctls with sysfs interface. So no need for separate tool like rzscontrol.
- Percpu stats and buffers for improved scalability
- Lots of other cleanups, minor fixes.
