Summary: TEENAGENT: Not working without zlib

Initial Comment:
Linux/amd64
ScummVM git 0a51805a8ceaeaeeaa57eb224e1adc821fd359f2
g++ 4.7.1
TeenAgent from GOG.

When starting TeenAgent in a build without zlib support it quits with:
Segment::read: corrupted data!

It seems teenagent.dat is zlib compressed. Using "file" on it suggests that and the code in resource.cpp ("Common::SeekableReadStream *dat = Common::wrapCompressedReadStream(dat_file);") suggest that too.

Uncompressing teenagent.dat via gzip makes the game run again.

Personally I think requiring zlib for uncompressing the dat file is going to far. It's 138KB uncompressed and read completly into memory anyway. Also create_teenagent doesn't seem to create a zlib compressed file.
