Daniel,

Excellent, thanks!  I get the impression that it is common to read xml from an http server with gzip 
compression.  So if zlib is updated and libxml is not, this should be detected pretty quickly and diagnosed 
easily, resulting in libxml being updated.  In fact, maybe this is sneaky sort of benefit to libxml that 
encourages users to get the latest version.
