A R binding of google's snappy compressor.
First of all, configure your system using:
R-snappy$ ./sysconfig
Then, build R-snappy with make:
R-snappy$ make
That'all, enjoy snappy in R.
Here is a sample usage in R shell:

> compressed = snappy_compress("hello world!")
> snappy_validate_compressed_buffer(compress)
[1] TRUE
> uncompressed = snappy_uncompress(compressed)
> cat(uncompressed, "\n")
