At one point, our system administration staff commissioned machines  
in the barest of bare bones fashions, and zlib was one of the things  
that wasn't installed unless specifically requested. I have had also  
spent time building python and Zope just to have Zope complain about  
zlib on startup. There are at least a couple of places that I can  
think of on the Zope side that require zlib, the HTTP server needs it  
to handle  "content-encoding: gzip" responses.
