I'm really starting to suspect that configure isn't working right.
I just tried with --disable-zlib, and it still says "Ues zlib
library: yes"
This leads me to wonder if the other options are working
The options that exist should be working.
"--disable-zlib", however, isn't one of the options that exist:
$ ./configure --help

zlib is a package, not a feature, so there's no "--disable-zlib"
option; the option is "--without-zlib".
However, configure scripts don't check whether a --enable, --disable,
--with, or --without flag refers to an option that exists; you could
say "--enable-faster-than-light-travel" or "--with-an-extra-scoop-of-
whipped-cream" and you'll get no complaints.
