[Boost-users] [iostreams] zlib name clashes

I have an application where I need the zlib iostreams filter, however, the zlib part of the application is compiled
with Z_PREFIX (which prepends all zlib functions with z_ via defines).

Since Z_PREFIX prepends via defines, the zlib_base functions that are named the same as their zlib counterpart are
"renamed" so the compiler cannot find the functions z_* in zlib_base.

My suggestion is to rename the zlib_base functions so that they won't be redefined if Z_PREFIX is defines.
