From the beginning ther were no tests on versionnumbers on zlib, only 
existance.
Then for some time, in september, somebody introduced some testing on 
ZLIB_VER_MAJOR/MINOR  which aren't standard in zlib.h
Now ZLIB_VERNUM (mentioned above) tests on 1.2.3 in test_zlib.c

I don't know which version really is needed.
