Okay, blooper on my behalf.

Quoth zutil.h:

/* WARNING: this file should *not* be used by applications. It is
   part of the implementation of the compression library and is
   subject to change. Applications should only use zlib.h.
 */


The bug is in xMule: it should NOT require zutil.h at all.
I'm getting in touch with the xMule developpers to let them know.
