I propose to do not put major version to the dll name.
The Zlib API is stable enough. I think it is better to put just calling convension to the dll name.

For example

zlib-c.dll
zlib-std.dll

If the new big changes would broke backward compartibility, then we have to change name. But now we need just separate different calling conventions.
