I believe that your changes are incomplete, since in order to use the library, zlib.h or zconf.h needs to be modified to provide the off64_t data type (as __int64).  In any case, I am reluctant to include the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE;off64_t=__int64;lseek64=_lseeki64 changes in this version.  A great deal of thought went into the LFS (Large File Summit) definition for Unix systems, in order to avoid binary compatibility issues.  I think it will take a little while to iron out those issues for zlib on Windows, so I would like to defer the implementation of 64-bit support for Windows to the next version.
