/*
This is an example illustrating the use of the compress_stream and
base64 components from the dlib C++ Library.
It reads in a file from the disk and compresses it in an in memory buffer and
then converts that buffer into base64 text. The final step is to output to
the screen some C++ code that contains this base64 encoded text and can decompress
it back into its original form.
