Actually, I'd like to reduce complexity as much as possible, so
please, please no non-standard options/variables.

Running ldconfig within 'make install' is absolutely pointless, IMHO.
In the very most cases you'll run via some build system, which will
install into some prefix (where the binpkg is created from) - in 
these cases running ldconfig is totally useless (and probably not
even wanted). 

That leaves only the few case when you *really* want to install 
*directly* into the live system. People doing that should know
that they'll have to run ldconfig afterwards - on all library
installs (not just zlib) anyways.
