[Zlib-devel] zLib warning with VC++ 2005

[Willis]

Correct.  VC8 currently shows support for Win64 (machine type AMD64), 
however, it lacks the libraries and proper includes to compile it without 
the Windows 2003 SP1 Platform SDK.  With said SDK, it compiles with no 
warnings on machinetype AMD64.

With reguard to the warning on the VS2005 compiler, I don't see why a cast 
over the entire line would break anything as it would be evaluating 
everything at its natural value before casting anything down.

So
s->bi_buf = (ush)(val >> (Buf_size - s->bi_valid));\
looks fine to me, but that decision is best left to the experts.
