I believe it was never in the VC6 project.  I have it on my TODO list to remove zlib from the VC7.1 project and leave instructions to install the 'official' build (zlib1.dll/zdll.lib) - much like the VC6 project.

Libpng shouldn't be building zlib, and if it does it definitely shouldn't call the result 'zlib1.dll' (which it does at present.)  It is possible to make a consistent set of .c files for zlib representing only what libpng needs (this excludes gz), but that seems like a second best solution.
