I don't have a 64-bit platform, so I don't know if this helps or not, but the
top-level README indicated that you could, "use one of the special makefiles in
win32/ or contrib/vstudio/."  Since you were having trouble with the win32/
makefile, I followed the instructions in the contrib/vstudio/readme.txt and
successfully compiled zlibwapi.dll.  Maybe you'll have better luck with
contrib/vstudio than win32/?
