Windows Rzlib.dll gzopen and friends

This change has significant consequences for Windows packages using R's 
zlib, including packages providing core Bioconductor functionality. Are 
the changes in r55624 meant to be long-term?

R developers,

If the absence of a more complete zlib is a permanent change, then is 
the best strategy to build and distribute a package that wraps a 
functional zlib? This seems like it will create problems with symbol 
resolution at the least. Including a zlib in each package that uses it 
also seems like a poor choice. What other strategies are recommended?
