These are defined in htcommon/DocumentRef.cc.  It seems there's a problem
with these functions in 3.1.1.  When compiling with HAVE_LIBZ defined,
but HAVE_ZLIB_H undefined, these functions are not defined.  The two
#ifdef's on lines 27 & 28 should be merged into one

        #if defined(HAVE_LIBZ) && defined(HAVE_ZLIB_H)

and the extra #endif on line 120, just before the #else can then be
removed, then the code should compile properly.  That your system has
libz but not zlib.h is strange, but the code could handle it better.
