I do not quite get it. Are you saying that libz does not exist on windows?
Sure this is needed in the code to have it work without compression, but Asger seems to want this since he does not have zlib?
I have zlib for windows, but it's a mistake that you can not build without zlib. The patch fixes that mistake. I'm sorry that we fix a few bugs while porting to Windows. I'm trying to be a bad guy, but you know, deep in my heart, I'm a Unix-man trapped in a Windows world.
Regards, Asger
