At the very least drop "zlib-dynamic" support. This has caused
"DLL-hell" on some platforms, when a dynamically loaded libz
conflicts with a different statically compiled libz in another
library. For example, some "ports" versions of FreeBSD Postfix
with OpenSSL and MySQL crash in SSL_accept when compression is
negotiated (because MySQL includes an internal libz in those
builds).
My own builds of OpenSSL have always (over a decade now) been
"no-zlib".
