zlib dependency not included

[dev-joss]

zlib is not included.

Oh.
Sorry, don't know much about Windows world. Do they have zlib at all?
Any patches are welcome!

[dev-joss]

Cool, will submit one at some point

@Jossgray got a patch for this by any chance? I'm having the same issue trying to build on windows
