I think libz is needed as a library in order to get the (un)compress stuff.  
The following line should be put in configure.in, probably before the "MySQL 
client libraries" check.  Then run bootstrap and try to build tpop3d again.

AC_CHECK_LIB(z, compress)

I see some recent changes in CVS by dtiefnig.  New developer/maintainer to 
help push a new release out?
