You can already do that; everything you need (except for the
zlib-1.1.3 source package) is included in CVS.

I took part in the development of the ZLib shared library; actually,
when ZLib support was added to the viewer more than 2 years ago I
first created a GLib library and registered the creator ID 'ZLib'.
When I found out that Tom Zerucha also had created a GLib with ZLib
support (and also used the creator ID 'ZLib') I contacted him to see
if we could merge our libraries somehow. At that time Tom had already
started to work on a shared library with ZLib support, so I helped him
to test the library and fix bugs (later I also decided to drop my GLib
library and instead use his shared library, since it would have more
general use). However, I don't want to include the ZLib source code in
the Plucker CVS, so we only include the diff and the header files
necessary to be able to build the viewer.

I guess we should upgrade to zlib-1.1.4, but not before Plucker 1.2
has been released.
