R developers,

If the absence of a more complete zlib is a permanent change, then is the best strategy to build and distribute a package that wraps a functional zlib? This seems like it will create problems with symbol resolution at the least. Including a zlib in each package that uses it also seems like a poor choice. What other strategies are recommended?

the changes in r55624 meant to be long-term?

Several Bioconductor packages were expecting Windows Rzlib.dll to

these gone for good, viz., r55624 ?
