Well, zlib.h defines gzdirect, inflateGetheader and more, but
zlib-1.2.2-mapfile.patch doesn't have them. Due to that many post-1.2.2 symbols
are not exported, resulting in linker errors (undefined reference).
I created zlib-1.2.3-mapfile.patch by reading zlib's Changelog and adding all
functions listed as added post 1.2.2. Don't know if it's any good.

Above mentioned patch

It seems to work.

going the mapfile route isnt really maintainable ... i doubt most people who
would bump zlib would even realize they need to update it

i'll see about adding a visibility/hidden test to the configure script and then
tagging all the symbols that arent supposed to be exported as hidden ...

should be fixed in 1.2.3-r1 now
