----------
This ports is some kind of second-party to orginal source 
http://www.zlib.net/  (their URLs placed in External Links section).
Current original source package is http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.2.tar.gz 
(&some mirrors urls).
It contains make files for different platforms. win32/makefile.msc describes 
follows:
STATICLIB = zlib.lib
SHAREDLIB = zlib1.dll
IMPLIB    = zdll.lib

so if You with  You can build static lib even for vs2005beta - but You must 
not define ZLIB_WINAPI (win32/dll_faq.txt clarifies it)
