On SunOS, zlib.pc exists as per the upstream distribution.

Are there other ${OPSYS} that do as pkgsrc does, that is do partial 
installs (or perhaps have an ancient version)?

If such is the case, perhaps those who have such a distro should 
consider adapting a fake zlib.pc wrapper to construct in builtin.mk.

BTW, This is similar to what was needed to be done for krb5-config on 
SunOS (which is pending integration as we speak).
