It's not a relic, it's design. We don't want the kernel's zlib routines
right now, we want our own. Did it not link the way it was? It's been
a few releases since I last compiled for my PReP box, but it was well
after the zlib changes had gone in.

Again, we don't want the 'normal' zlib there either. Was it not
linking? If so, what was the error?
