Hi all,

I updated zlib to the latest upstream version and cleaned up the PKGBUILD. 
It's installed to /usr instead of /. If there was a reason for doing this, 
please complain. 

I know, this version isn't linked on zlib's homepage (which was updated 
sometime back in 2005). But according to debian this is the latest upstream 
version; so i put it on our ftp.

Here is the boring changelog:


                ChangeLog file for zlib

Changes in 1.2.3.3 (2 October 2006)
- Make --shared the default for configure, add a --static option
- Add compile option to permit invalid distance-too-far streams
- Add inflateUndermine() function which is required to enable above
- Remove use of "this" variable name for C++ compatibility [Marquess]
- Add testing of shared library in make test, if shared library built
- Use ftello() and fseeko() if available instead of ftell() and fseek()
- Provide two versions of all functions that use the z_off_t type for
  binary compatibility -- a normal version and a 64-bit offset version,
  per the Large File Support Extension when _LARGEFILE64_SUPPORT is
  defined; use the 64-bit versions by default when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
  is defined to be 64
- Add a --uname= option to configure to perhaps help with cross-compiling
