That's what I was suspecting when I said the problem might be too old a
version of zlib.

This is already fixed in SVN (which will work with zlib 1.1.x too),
though I'd recommend using zlib 1.2.3 since 1.2.x claims to decompress
"about 20% faster".

To get 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 to compile, just comment out the line which
mentions Z_RLE (which should be where the error is reported).
