Low-level bindings to the C API of laszip for Rust. A native Rust implementation of laz is available at https://github.com/tmontaigu/laz-rs.
LASzip is a free and lossless LiDAR compression format, based on the las format. Compression ratios over las of 4:1 and up to 10:1 have been observed in the wild.
Ensure that clang can see the laszip/laszip_api.h include file and the laszip_api library.
