"The zlib extension is built using an included copy of the zlib sources unless the zlib version found on the system is too old to be used for the build"

I believe it should be "if" rather than "unless".

Thanks Jakub for the report and Gennadiy for the patch (that I applied on all the active braches).

After a closer look (thanks Ezio), the proper patch should be something like:

because the embedded zlib is not used in the linux build (but always the system one, and if absent, no zlib module is built) while we have several references of Modules/zlib/ files in PC/VC* and PCbuild/*.vcproj (that I can't read); adding to nosy the windows expert to have their opinion.
