I've took a look into the code.
I think we should extract function for computation of max_compressed_size and put it somewhere along with pglz code.
Justin case something will change something about pglz so that they would not forget about compression algorithm
assumption.

Also I suggest just using 64 bit computation to avoid overflows. And I think it worth to check if max_compressed_size
iswhole data and use min of (max_compressed_size, uncompressed_data_size). 

Also you declared needsize and max_compressed_size too far from use. But this will be solved by function extraction
anyway.

Thanks!
