I'd just check for inflatePrime() and, if it's not present, don't build in the "transparent access to gzipped files" 
support.

Actually we still can do transparent access, but only when BLOCK is not inside
middle of byte.

So does that mean "we can still do transparent access, but it won't work with some valid gzipped files", or does it 
mean "we can still do transparent access on all valid gzipped files as long as the code is careful", or does it mean 
"we can still do transparent access on all valid gzipped files, but it won't be as efficient as it would be with 
inflatePrime()"?

Given that the random-access-to-gzipped-files code is compiled in regardless of whether we have inflatePrime(), 
presumably it doesn't mean the first of those.
