+dnl Test for the libz library of a particular version (or newer).
+dnl
+dnl If no path to the installed zlib is given, the macro will first try
+dnl using no -I or -L flags, then searches under /usr, /usr/local, /opt,
+dnl and /opt/zlib.
+dnl If these all fail, it will try the $ZLIB_ROOT environment variable.
+dnl
+dnl This macro calls:
+dnl   AC_SUBST(ZLIB_CPPFLAGS)
+dnl   AC_SUBST(ZLIB_LDFLAGS)
+dnl
+dnl And (if zlib is found):
+dnl   AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ZLIB)
+dnl
+dnl It also leaves the shell variable "success" set to "yes" or "no".
+dnl
+dnl NOTE: This macro does not currently work for cross-compiling,
