It's defined in boost-root/libs/iostreams/build/zlib.jam, which is imported by
boost-root/libs/iostreams/test/Jamfile

The default values should work on unix-like systems including Cygwin. For other
windows systems,environment variables need to be set. Making the compression
test pass is not my first priority, though.
I was expecting compiler errors of the form "cannot find 'zlib.h'"

I looked at a 8 randomly selected files with a hex editor and don't see any
problems. My text editors generally warn about inconsistent line-endings. If you
point out the corrupted files, I'll fix them ASAP.
