Looks like `ALIGNED_` is defined from `HAVE_ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED` which, maybe mean it possibly isn't detecting `attribute(aligned(x))` properly. I was looking at your CMake and I think in zlib-ng CMake we do...

This PR must be rebased. There are some conflicts in the nmake files.

AFAIK libdeflate requires whole-buffer and does not support streaming. So if all you look at is just speed then libdeflate will always win. On the higher levels zlib-ng compresses twice...

Why libdeflate is faster than vanilla zlib for decompression: https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/02dfa32da3ee3982c66278e714d2e21276dfb67b/lib/deflate_decompress.c#L32-L43

Additionally, libdeflate uses an extra 32KB hash table for 3-byte matches. I don't think we want to consume that much more memory. https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/blob/02dfa32da3ee3982c66278e714d2e21276dfb67b/lib/hc_matchfinder.h#L69-L74

I like how it is split into `cpu_features` and `cpu_functions`.

Time to ditch nmake like I've been saying for years. :)
