[Starkit] zlib

[Larry W. Virden]

Okay, here's the steps I took and what it took for me to get the code
to build and pass the test in my environment.

1. download code
2. extract tar
3. cd into zlib
4. mkdir unix
5. ../configure --prefix=/usr/tcl84 --enable-shared --enable-symbols--enable-stubs
6. gmake all
7. gmake test ... and the test failed
8. looked at pkgIndex.tcl, and saw it was empty
9. tried generating it manually, and that failed.
10. tried load'ing the command and got the error
11. examined the Makefile and found the reference to the old zlib
12. cd ..
13. read README
14. Ignored the unix instructions and ran 
tclsh8.4 build.tcl ... which configured and built the new libz.a .
15. cd unix
16. nvi Makefile ... and changed the -I and -L flags to force them to
	reference the zlib-1.2.2 directory.
17. rm *.so *.o
18. gmake all
19. gmake test ... and test passed
