Like this?

Yes, of course. This only takes care of the regression. If we want to 
support Iostreams built against our own zlib/bzlip2/zstd/lzma from CMake, 
we'll have to boost-install them somehow. But that's not something we 
absolutely need in 1.70 as long as it doesn't regress.

And we probably need to think about it a bit more, because putting the 
responsibility for calling `boost-install boost_zlib` on Iostreams doesn't 
sound correct. After all, another Boost library may well want to use zlib 
too. But the less-incorrect answers to this will take us in interesting 
directions.
