[Zlib-devel] update for zlib 1.2.3.9 - project and assembly code

no if we have same path step (for the ..\..\.. stuff), and check if the
project found the assembly and minizip stuff...

Gilles,

Thanks.  I have applied that.  However example.c is exactly the same as the
one in 1.2.3.9.

Ok.  Anyone have a problem with that?

Also I'm wondering if I should move the vstudio stuff to projects/ instead
of contrib/ .  I think it's more appropriate in projects/ .

I don't mainly because I am unsure of the reliability, and I have not
investigated the reliability since I understand the gains to be marginal
(order 10%).  If the gains were larger, e.g. a factor of 2 or even 50%, then
I would be more inclined to make those part of the mainstream zlib.
