I came across some issues with CMake Cygwin builds and traced it back
to the changeover to zconf.in.h and the CMake build no longer getting
HAVE_UNISTD_H defined which was ultimately breaking example.exe (the
change in z_off_t sizes was presumably breaking zlib).

The following fix adds two #cmakedefine statements to zconf.in.h.  The
configure shell script has been modified to simply remove these
statements when writing out its zconf.h.

With this patch, CMake builds & "make test" succeed on the following platforms:
Cygwin/gcc-4.3.4
Linux-i386/gcc-4.3.3

I also tested MinGW gcc-3.4.5 and it passes.
