I tried this patch on Scientific Linux 6.2 -- after applied it I changed
the check to >= 1.2.3 (to the one used in sl62).

This compiles fine but tests fails miserably.

According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/source/precise/zlib
it uses zlib 1.2.3.4...

... I created container based on ubuntu:12.04

... and ... the tests fail there as bad as with 1.2.3.


SO, it looks to me that (unfortunately) just doing this is not enough
(knowing that one needs to test dump/restore for this patch to be feasible
may not be obvious to everyone ;/).

My supportive patch: id:1397809386-23356-1-git-send-email-tomi.ollila@iki.fi
-- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.notmuch.general/17916
still applies to many systems with older zlib versions; probably to precise
as well.
