Well, the process of building a shared library is rather system
specific; most open source software uses 'libtool' to handle the
details, but zlib probably doesn't, since it gets used on all
sorts of crazy systems. (I don't think I've ever built it from 
scratch, actually.)

There may be instructions in the zlib documentation about building
shared libraries; or I've heard people mention sunfreeware.com -
they seem to have binaries of zlib for Solaris 8.
