It looks like that's exactly what happened.  The version check
compares the first 4 characters of the version string.


Almost exactly the same problem happened 13 years ago or so.  Instead of
heeding the comment right in the file that only the first character of
the version string should be examined (or else compare ZLIB_VERNUM),
they chose to shorten the comparison from 5 to 4 characters…


I've been made aware of what seems to be a similar problem in cmake's 
"find_package(ZLIB)", see:


https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/25200

I think that means we need a cmake update with a fix for that...

The ABI hasn't changed, so it would be good if you relaxed or removed
this check.  I've done that in a few other packages over the years.  For
Cygwin it just doesn't make sense to insist on one particular version of
any library (although in this case maybe i got spooked by the change
from 1.2.x to 1.3).

Thanks for the report.  I think I can fix this by rebuilding the TeX 
Live binaries with the new zlib.  I'll do that ASAP.
