I believe the correct approach would be to have ./configure look for zlib.
If present, then it should include the module into the build.
[ this auto-build style could apply to many modules, actually ]

There would need to be a way to override this auto-build of a module.

This would be great. I'd recommend a patch against configure.in and
associated files. (Modules/Setup.* ?)
