That's just me, I talk in slang! (or perl pretty often)

The Precompiled package from http://cygutils.netpedia.net had a pacth 
applied to the orginal (Vanilla) source for Zlib that enabled the creation 
of a .dll.

Running the normal:

./configure
make
make install

produced a static library libz.a.

This I have had no problem linking into other programs (or libs).

Neil
