1. mingw64-x86_64-zlib package does not include minizip

        $ sage listfiles mingw64-x86_64-zlib
        usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libz.a
        usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libz.dll.a

2. mingw64-x86_64-zlib doesnt even pull in the minizip package:

        $ sage-cost.sh mingw64-x86_64-zlib
           73,920 desktop-file-utils
           52,608 gamin
          478,080 gsettings-desktop-schemas
           11,592 libfam0
        2,885,964 libglib2.0_0
          693,532 libxml2
           56,616 mingw64-x86_64-pkg-config
          109,828 mingw64-x86_64-zlib
           56,536 pkg-config
          299,232 shared-mime-info

3. The package you are looking for is mingw64-x86_64-minizip, which doesnt get
   pulled in from anything:

        $ sage rdepends mingw64-x86_64-minizip
        mingw64-x86_64-minizip

   you have to manually install it.

4. You are rigth about the DLL:

       $ sage listfiles mingw64-x86_64-minizip
       usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libminizip-1.dll
       usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libminizip.dll.a

If you want the static version, you need to build it yourself, or post issue
here:

http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-zlib

Good luck on this though:
