No. zlib is included in a similar way to the way we include
bindlib_w32. It's in a different repository on cvs.php.net, that we expect
to be checked out and built by the time you build PHP.

Nope (this particular file doesn't exist anymore, btw)

Not sure - I think that zlib should be in the win32build.zip archive. If
you put it where bindlib_w32.lib is, we should be fine :)
