Once upon a time there were Igor's binaries which haven't used, and had 
no reference to, zlib. Those times are long gone. Today, Igor's binaries 
use zlib down to it's core. Indeed, Igor also offers a zlib binary for 
download along with libxml. More, there is a figure on Igor's website 
which illustrates the fact that zlib is required for operation.

Still some people miss all that and expect Igor's libxml binary to work 
without zlib. Well... no smint, no kiss.
