Tsk, tsk. I didn't notice that you invented a new category.
I don't see any reason why this should just be in Libs. It's a mingw
library but, since we don't make the Mingw distinction for anything
else, I don't know why zlib should be different. The description
should be adequate, IMO.
Note that cygcheck will still compile and link without this libarary.
You'll get a warning and the resultant program won't be able to access
the package files.
