Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 By my reading of the code, NO_ZLIB will be set to 1, if you're on Windows,
 and have not set both  ZLIB_SOURCE and ZLIB_INCLUDE. If you set NO_ZLIB=0
 on command line and do not set ZLIB_SOURCE and ZLIB_INCLUDE, zlib won't be
 used anyway. And if you do set ZLIB_SOURCE and ZLIB_INCLUDE, zlib should
 be used without any other option. So, back to original question -- what
 exactly are you doing (exact command line), and what effect you see?
