-----------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 Building Boost 1.65.1 on Windows with msvc-12.0.

 b2 doesn't detect zlib with the command line below:

 {{{
 b2 toolset=msvc-12.0 --with-iostreams
 -sZLIB_INCLUDE=D:/Libraries/zlib-1.2.11/stage/x86/include
 -sZLIB_LIBRARY_PATH=D:/Libraries/zlib-1.2.11/stage/x86/lib
 -sZLIB_NAME=zlib variant=debug link=shared --stagedir=stage/x86 stage
 }}}

 and the following line is emitted:

 {{{
     - zlib                     : no  (cached)
 }}}

 b2 detects zlib only when ZLIB_SOURCE is specified. However, since I built
 zlib with CMake and INSTALLed on different directory, zconf.h doesn't
 exist on the directory under the source directory from which Boost is
 about to include the file from. A workaround is to copy zconf.h from the
 actual include directory into the source directory when I run b2 and
 delete it after building is finished.
