Built-in support for zlib would be better of course. Anyway, I'd
suggest to restrict the above list to OSS.

If you're on Windows (which was the question that triggered my list of
possible methods) the OSS question looks like a trifle: the whole OS is
neither free nor open-source, so mentioning one non-free closed-source
(but frequently already installed) alternative among several
free-and-open ones doesn't look to me like an important issue by
comparison, especially since free and non-free choices are clearly
marked as such (by Dr. Chip) and that if the non-free choice is already
installed, then it might still be the "best" choice after all.
Of course, in _my_ opinion going over to Linux (which is FOSS) is the
best solution in the long run, but I don't expect to convince many
Windows users to make the switch any time soon, and for some (e.g. IIUC
in South Korea, where IE enjoys a kind of state-enforced monopoly) it
might not even be a possibility right now.
Best regards,
Tony.
