Important
---------
- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
  macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.


Additional notes
----------------
- This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
  by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
  It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
  includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
  particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.

- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
  versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.

- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
  is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
  win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.

- There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
  has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
  not define it here.
