You are right that it will not work but we have similar problem
also before because it was not possible to create harbour.dll
without recompiling harbour external/{hbpcre,hbzlib} which were
needed to create final binaries. Now the same is true also on
platforms which allows to create shared libraries with unresolved
references (late binding).
If we begin to use zlib in more places, i.e. for generating
compressed .hrb or .hrl files by compiler then it will not be
possible to even start any compilation without compiling
external/hbzlib if system ZLIB library does not exists. Anyhow
I do not find it as critical. Even now you cannot start compilation
in any directory containing .prg files if harbour compiler was not
compiled before.
