The stuff in the contrib directory is not part of the official zlib  
distribution, so the party line would be you use it at your own  
risk.  Then again, you also use zlib at your own risk, so it's not a  
whole lot different.

If folk believe that there is enough testing, we could consider  
moving the asm stuff into the main directory to make a default part  
of the zlib build.
