I noticed that a new version of zlib was released last year. 1.2.0 came out in March through 1.2.1 in late November. There are a lot of API changes and new DLL support, but the new code seems to work fine with a Python build. That is, it compiles with minor changes to the build and the tests all pass. Even if we don't change our code at all, inflate is about 20% faster and crc32 is about 50% faster.
Shall we upgrade the Windows build to use this new version? I have the changes made locally, but don't want to commit until people have had a chance to grab the new source.
