To be honest i really don't like this. Without compression the disk 
cache is not great, for example Deus Ex shaders took up around 130MB 
(over 1/10 of the default cache size). IMO we should just disable 
building the cache when zlib is not found ... actually I'm pretty sure 
building this is already disabled on windows because its very unixy.

Not having compression is fine for the program binary extension but I'd 
rather not do it for the disk cache.
