---------------------------------- Adding zlib module to python25.dll ----------------------------------
Thomas Heller and Martin Heller had been discussing whether the zlib
Should be 'Martin v. Löwis', as we all know.
module should become builtin, at least on Windows (i.e. part of python25.dll). This would simplify both the build process and py2exe, the latter could then bootstrap extraction from the compressed file just with pythonxy.dll, but this is currently not done, because the pythoncore.vcproj would then not be buildable anymore unless you also have the right version of zlib on disk. To solve this problem, Thomas proposed that the Python release could incorporate a copy of zlib, primarily for use on Windows (with the project files appropriately adjusted). This change was later made.
