Answer: 'read the f@#$*("& zlib-1.1.3.README file in /usr/doc/Cygwin'
I'm not arguing for changing dll names (it would be a *HELL* of a lot of
work for me, and I really don't want to do it) but we just can't be
timid about changes because folks don't read documentation. Perhaps we
should resurrect the actual meaning of 'RTFM' and stop using the nice,
clean, acronym....
