import of zlib-1.2.3

We want to use zlib for the mszip ndr (de)compression
later, we'll need to add some new functions to zlib.

+Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.3

+========================================================

+

+This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using

+Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0/7.1, and Visual C++ .

+

+You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the

+binaries from:

+  http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll

+

+More information can be found at this site.

+

+

+Build instructions for Visual Studio 7.x (32 bits)

+--------------------------------------------------

+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files

+- Download the crtdll library from

+    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip

+  Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib on contrib\vstudio\vc7.

+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc7\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 7.x

+  (Visual Studio .Net 2002 or 2003).

+

+Build instructions for Visual Studio 2005 (32 bits or 64 bits)

+--------------------------------------------------------------

+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files

+- For 32 bits only: download the crtdll library from

+    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/crtdll.zip

+  Unzip crtdll.zip to extract crtdll.lib on contrib\vstudio\vc8.

+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc8\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0

+

+Build instructions for Visual Studio 2005 64 bits, PSDK compiler

+----------------------------------------------------------------

+at the time of writing this text file, Visual Studio 2005 (and 

+  Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0) is on the beta 2 stage.

+Using you can get the free 64 bits compiler from Platform SDK, 

+  which is NOT a beta, and compile using the Visual studio 2005 IDE

+see http://www.winimage.com/misc/sdk64onvs2005/ for instruction

+

+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files

+- start Visual Studio 2005 from a platform SDK command prompt, using

+  the /useenv switch

+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc8\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0

+

+

+Important

+---------

+- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the

+  macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.

+

+

+Additional notes

+----------------

+- This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built

+  by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at

+    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll

+  It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and

+  includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that

+  particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.

+

+- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible

+  versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.

+

+- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one

+  is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file

+  win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.

+

+- There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol

+  has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do

+  not define it here.
