The iPhone SDK comes with zlib, but it just has the zlib headers and a 
"libz.dylib" for the library.  There doesn't appear to be an import 
library...just this dylib thing.  So, I know what path to specify for 
ZLIB_INCLUDE, but I'm a bit confused about what to specify for 
ZLIB_LIBPATH or ZLIB_BINARY.
