Firstly, zlib is one thing and one thing only, namely the reference implementation of Jean-Loup Gailly's gzip (aka. deflate) compression algorithm. See zlib.net. Secondly, Microsoft don't maintain official packages of third-party software, so there is no such thing as "zlib package of ms windows". Various projects (Cygwin, MSYS, MinGW, GNUWin32) ship pre-compiled zlib binaries for Windows, but none of the four I mentioned include zip support in their version of zlib. > Should we merge minizip into libz ? No. Why should we? If you want to create or unpack .zip files on FreeBSD, use tar(1).
