>Description:
	NetBSD uses zlib V1.0.4 which is quite old now. The current
	version is 1.1.3 -- see http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/

	How about importing the newer sources? I recently observed 
	strange problems using the old version in one of our projects
	-- maybe others will run into trouble someday, too?
