[Openexr-devel] zlib and Carbon build

[Darrin Cardani]

I was able to make a shim library that uses the already installed 
zlib library in the Carbon version. If others want it, let me know 
and I'll tidy it up. The convenience of the shim library is that it 
would no longer require developers to download and build the zlib 
source, which has proven to be error prone.

In messing with the zlib library, I noticed that the 3 Carbon targets 
in ExrLib.mcp project all include it, but only IlmImfTest actually 
uses it. It probably gets stripped out during linking, but it would 
be cleaner not to include it in targets that don't use it. I didn't 
check the Mach-O targets, but I'm guessing that IexTest and ImathTest 
probably don't use it in the Mach-O versions, too.
