[New-bugs-announce] [issue22381] update zlib in 2.7 to 1.2.8

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose:

I'd like to update zlib in 2.7 to 1.2.8. zlib isn't used at all for posix builds, because it requires a system installed zlib. However I don't know what is is used for Windows and MacOSX.  Please could somebody check?

My rationale for the update is that the .exe files require a zlib, and I'd like to build these on Linux with a mingw cross compiler.

The patch brings zlib to the status as found on the 3.4 branch.
