Looking at the code it seems that enabling zlib support sets HAVE_ZLIB
which assumes that the DBs are always compressed with gzip which removes
the support for uncompressed db files. Logically, both should be
supported with some kind of file format detection.

Ignore this if I wrongly understand the intention :)
