'configure' happily accepts stock zlib-1.2.5, and 'make' fails. So, 'configure'
does not do its job of properly checking the prerequistes. For example, here is
how part of XML-LibXML-1.70/Makefile.PL looks:

    115     my @blacklist = (
    116                      # format X,Y,Z,is_ok, X,Y,Z is version,
    117                      # is_ok applies also to *preceding* versions
    118                      [2,4,22,0],
    119                      [2,4,25,0], # broken XPath
    120                      [2,4,28,0], # unsupported, may work fine with
earlier XML::LibXML versions
    121                      [2,4,29,0], # broken
    122                      [2,4,30,0], # broken
    123                      [2,5,0,0], # unsupported
    124                      [2,5,1,0], # all pre 2.5.4 version have broken
attr output
    125                      [2,5,5,0], # tests pass, but known as broken
    126                      [2,5,11,0], # will partially work
    127                      [2,6,0,0], # unsupported
    128                      [2,6,4,0], # schema error
    129                      [2,6,5,0], # broken xincludes
    130                      [2,6,15,0],
    131                    # [2,6,16,1], # first version to pass all tests
    132                      [2,6,18,1], # up to 2.6.18 all ok
    133                      [2,6,19,0], # broken c14n
    134                      [2,6,20,0], # broken schemas
    135                      [2,6,24,1], # all tests pass
    136                      [2,6,25,0], # broken XPath
    137                      [2,6,32,1], # tested, works ok
    138                      [2,7,1,0], # broken release, broken utf-16
    139                      [2,7,6,1], # tested, ok
    140                     );
.

If adding a check to 'configure' is difficult, README file then can be updated
with, say

stock zlib-1.2.5 is broken, see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33710 for details.
