I agree in principle, but I'm not sure it's detectable at compile time,
since the option we need is passed as a string (boo!).  

I guess the ZLIB_VERNUM hack would be preferable to adding platform
specific checks to configure. But note you'd need somehow to find
zlib.h.

See my other patch for fdatasync.
