00:56		Reworked the handling of "./configure --with-zlib=FOO", yielding several benefits: FOO can now point to both a flat directory as before or to a directory one level up with lib/ and include/ subdirs, as zlib installs to when configured with a --prefix, fixing an issue reported on the forum.

20:13		Experimental fix for link failure under --with-openssl=tree on some platforms (found on CentOS 6) where OpenSSL needs -lpthread to link.
