net/zlib.c and net/zlib.h are hacked versions that are part of the
in-kernel pppd.  I would be suprised if the more modern versions of zlib
didn't have the extra API's that pppd needs.

We have a decompress-only kern/inflate.c.  We could probably gather a
more modern zlib library and replace net/zlib* and kern/inflate.c

Cheers,
