This is our fault: Z_RLE isn't in 1.1.4 of zlib, which is what's on
Solaris 10 by default (no idea what's in Solaris 9). So we need a test
for a more recent version. 1.2.3 (Debian stable has it) has Z_REL, so
I'm guessing the 1.2 series is required for our code.

If you install the latest zlib somewhere you should be able to get
this working - depending on how we're finding zlib.
