[Zlib-devel] [PATCH Take 2] 1.2.3 makefile.msc usability & rc fix (too late)

[William A. Rowe, Jr.]

Taking into account Cosmin's feedback and Andrei's valid points, attached
is the obvious patch.  I've removed -Oy- based on Cosmin's strong negative
reaction, retained the .pdb that software professionals won't live without,
and simplified the clean: phase so only existing files are deleted without
any fnf noise.

I never explained why I suggested changing FILEOS in the .rc file, however.
This is a WINDOWS32 binary, that we agree on.  But this is not targetted,
and does not depend on either a MS-DOS based subsystem or ntdll subsystem,
so some conventions say to keep mute on advertising either.

Please consider this patch as-is.  Tested on VC 6.0 and 2005.
