zlib.bi specifies version 1.2.2. This is current (close enough, the function defs are current with the latest v1.2.3), but libz.dll.a distributed with fb v0.20 is out of date.
This issue must be out of date by now. And circumstances have probably changed.
between releases 0.24 and 1.10,
only 0.24.0, 1.01.0 and 1.06.0 have included this file in the release.
and other releases do not include this file.
Not sure why the file was dropped / added / dropped, but feels like should be reported as a new issue going forward since releases of last few years have changed tool chains (on windows) and the .dll.a is has not been included with the release.
