Mmm,

Well, no, in fact, i guess it even does link dynamically with zlib:

$ ldd dllcamlzip.so
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40004000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

That said, this is an ocaml library, and there are some people liking to do
static ocaml executables, and as thus should be sure they have the new version
of zlib installed, and as thus, i bumped both the build depend and the depend
of the -dev version.

Maybe this upload was not necessary, but in doubt, i erred on the safe side.

Friendly,
