We'd be asking for trouble with this: incompatible shipped and system
versions or having to build the shipped version. All that for working

New submission from Daniel Diniz :
The attached patch makes setup.py use the shipped zlib.h in
Modules/zlib/ when a bogus zlib.h is found by find_file.
However, I couldn't test it (nor make it work) when a system zlib is
missing (no time right now). Can we build the shipped zlib and link
against
