Daniel,

This has been discussed before.  zconf.h has to remain for systems that need to simply compile the source code without using build scripts.  Perhaps the problem you mention could be worked around with the -I option.

I have not applied zlib-build.patch.txt.  Please submit one that does not delete zconf.h.
