Description
We want to add BC7 encoding to the library with RDO (Rate-Distortion Optimization) to take better advantage of zstd supercompression. Rich Geldreich's open source Apache 2.0-licensed encoder at https://github.com/richgel999/bc7enc_rdo is a good candidate. The addition should follow the same model as the ASTC encoder.

Research direction
Start by studying the existing ASTC encoder integration and the referenced bc7enc_rdo project, including its RDO approach and Apache 2.0 license. Done means the library has BC7 encoding with RDO integrated according to the ASTC encoder model and suitable for zstd supercompression.
