Interesting.  And it makes NO SENSE.

Because all that function really does is suppress the TESTING for zlib in
./configure.  There's no code changes that respect the MAKE_WITH_ZLIB flag.
All the code that calls gzopen() et al is still in there and still live...

Wild guess.  Is this Linux?  New Linux, like 2.4.20+ with the zlib kernel
option???
