Log Message:
Fix [ Bug #129293 ] zlib library used for binary win32 distribution can crash

This involves changing the zlib build process to build zlib itself from sources, then use that library.  Also updated are the comments to reflect the new official home of zlib, and add Windows specific notes regarding the build process.
