PumpStream is a handy C# static method for moving (or "pumping") all the bytes from one stream to another.

It's helpful when you want to move data from a FileStream into a DeflateStream, for example. Another good use is streaming data from a MemoryStream or FileStream to a client via ASP.NET's Response.OutputStream property.

Since PumpStream uses a configurable size intermediate buffer, you're never going to run out of memory no matter how much data you're pumping.
