Assume: "in a new folder" unless readme says otherwise once you've
tried "in a new folder."

It loads 'deflate' compressed data such as the data inside PNG
textures.

I did

unzip zlib.zip -d zlib          # or use winzip
cd zlib
cp msdos/makefile.dj2 makefile
make

After I built zlib and unzipped libpng, I did

cp scripts/makefile.dj2 makefile
make test
cp libpng.a c:/Personal/DJGPP/lib
cp *.h c:/Personal/DJGPP/include

Then I installed an Allegro wrapper for libpng.

>PROBLEM 4) libjpg:

It loads textures in .jpg format.  It might be hard to compile but
there may be an option in Crystal Space to disable use of JPEG
textures.
