Summary:                    Upgrade to zlib 1.2.4
Description: 
•Fixed bugs in adler32_combine(), compressBound(), and deflateBound() 
•Wholesale replacement of gz* functions with faster versions 
•As part of that, added gzbuffer(), gzoffset(), gzclose_r(), and
gzclose_w() functions 
•Faster Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY and Z_RLE compression for images and other
specialized compression 
•Added flush options Z_BLOCK to deflate() and Z_TREES to inflate() for
finer control 
•Added inflateReset2() and inflateMark() functions, the latter to aid in
random access applications 
•Added LFS (Large File Summit) support for 64-bit file offsets and many
other portability improvements
