Not even necessary, it comes with its own for windows:
  if !os(windows)
    -- Normally we use the the standard system zlib:
    extra-libraries: z
  else
    -- However for the benefit of users of Windows (which does not have zlib
    -- by default) we bundle a complete copy of the C sources of zlib-1.2.3
    c-sources:     cbits/adler32.c cbits/compress.c cbits/crc32.c
                   cbits/deflate.c cbits/gzio.c cbits/infback.c
                   cbits/inffast.c cbits/inflate.c cbits/inftrees.c
                   cbits/trees.c cbits/uncompr.c cbits/zutil.c
