Thanks for your efforts. We've reviewed your patch for inclusion into
our OpenPKG "zlib" package and discovered that your configure checks are
not quite correct. For instance, you're incorrectly putting a va_list
variable into a snprintf call in one check, etc. Additionally we've
stripped down in size the patch to gzio.c (you re-formatted existing
code, etc). See http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-src/zlib/zlib.patch for
our derived version of your patch in case you're interested.
