By standard distribution do you mean that other people might use your
library with other applications?
We solve that by placing our library in a different place
(/usr/local/mycompany/lib) for linking. Then our application uses our
library only. Meanwhile, other application will continue to use
whatever that have in /use/local/lib
We actually do a static link anyway to make sure nobody messes us up!
You can make it w/out zlib simply by picking that option on the build.
Even if you don't go that route, placing your library in a different
place is (IMO) good. We have a lot of customers and they install all
kinds of things and they would stomp on our open ssl and libxml2 and
zlib and libsoap and everything else (or we would stomp on theirs) ...
so having it's own home has been good for us. You would be surprised
how much software is out there that requires an older version than what
is available (we try and stay current).

Not an option if you need to run software on a standard distribution.
