>Description:
	Without zlib on host system, build.sh is doomed to fail.  This is commonly not included
	and adds to intimidating complexity for potential cross-builder-people in pre-environment
	setup.
>How-To-Repeat:
	try a default install of Interix, watch build fail.
>Fix:
	would prefer just including support for zlib in src/tools/compat, but good documentation on
	bootstrapping Interix for  pre- build.sh invocation which includes described gotcha would also suffice.
