People have tried building it before. It doesn't work out of the box,
but isn't too hard to build I gather.

Within zsync, most of the code for the rsync algorithm and zsync
metadata handling is already factored out into librcksum and libzsync,
but these are not currently exposed as dynamic libraries and are simply
linked statically into the zsync client. The intention is that people
could use these as a library, and they are only not exposed as dynamic
libraries at the moment because I have not tried using them from another
program (nor has anyone else that I know of). I would rather someone try
to use it so that I could improve the API in response to feedback.
