The Fedora spec file[1] does not explicitly rename the DLL.  It fixes
a bug in the *.la file where the *.la file contains a reference to the
wrongly named DLL.

Anyway, the upstream (ie. zlib) DLL seems to be called zlib1.dll, and
we wouldn't normally change DLL names from upstream.

BTW, mixing DLLs built from separate sources is a really bad idea,
especially for C++ where it's unlikely to work at all.  The only DLLs
we work with are the base Windows-supplied DLLs and the ones
we built ourselves.
