This raises a good point, though I still dislike the idea of including
the zlib library. It would be nice if Setup.in would be autogenerated
to compile all the modules it can -- bsddb if it finds libdb, zlib if
it finds libz.a. I vaguely recall once working on a Python script that
would generate a customized Setup.in file, though I can't find it at
the moment. Given that someone has already suggested automatically
enabling threads on those platforms that support it, why not go all
the way?
(But a Python script that generates a Setup.in isn't going to work,
unless we compile a minipython first and then create a more complete
Setup file.)
