   Oh, okay, thanks -- now I see the rationale.

   I just looked closer and I see that it's making an assumption about
ZLIBDIR and its relation to the zlib sources which aren't always true,
and this is why my build fails.   I still feel it's conceptually wrong
to build a copy of zlib which I won't be using, so I'm going to add the
FOSSIL_BUILD_ZLIB option.

   Of course.  For these types of changes, you need not even ask.  :)
