I am forwarding the reply from Guido about the -lz stuff. Since the
Debian is based on `modern ELF *.so', I will fix this issue in the next
upload. Thanks.

Subject: Re: problems with the zziplib package of Debian

As for the -lz in zziplib, well, this is how zziplib works - it does
require zlib and zlib does not install a pkgconfig file by default.
If you like to try then you could clear out the usage of pkgconfig
declaration in zzip-zlib-config.pc. (removing -lz at compile time
when it is needed at runtime will only work on modern ELF *.so based
systems that know about NEEDED/RPATH declarations in the binary format.
All other unixish systems will probably fail to load the application
program based on unresolved symbols from zlib - so for the sake of
maximum portability it is better to keep in the declaration series).
