Comment:

 (In [52168]) Check if value of NO_COMPRESSION/NO_ZLIB is 0 or 1.

 Originally, only presence of these variables was checked.
 Unfortunately, iostreams documentation said, incorrectly,
 that NO_ZLIB and NO_BZIP2 default to 1 on Windows, which
 caused some users to pass NO_ZLIB=0 explicitly, together
 with other variables,thereby still disabling zlib.

 This match makes Jamfile forgiving of this error.

 Fixes #1967.
