Build error/zlib question

Hi,

I am unable to build a package I maintain using a relatively current
build of R-2.4.0 alpha, whereas the package builds just fine on R-2.3.1.
Both versions of R were built from source. I'm hoping a guRu might be
able to give some help.

The entry points are no longer exported, you probably have to specify
the zlib header files (which reside in R/src/extra/zlib).
