hmmm, I admit its been a while back when I last build with MSVC6, but
IIRC I never had faced an issue, probably because I avoid project files
whenever possible, therefore I used the commandline nmakefile for
building zlib, and I think we can expect this from the user / developer
too since we talk here about libcurl makefiles, and not project files;
so I see no reason to make the libcurl makefile compatible with a zlib
project file. I would more suggest that you investigate the zlib
makefile, and create a patch for this to use same output folder and
namings as what the project files use ...
just my 2ct.
Gün.
