I'm all for allowing one to introduce a new version of zlib to their

enterprises and stability to introduce a dependency to the JDK on the
underlying OS zlib libraries. Could we at least consider a runtime
property to allow linking to the (currently bundled) zlib v.1.2.8 port
in case issues arise ?
Don't the LD_* environment variables serve this need already? Once the
JDK is using the system zlib then this is the simplest way to get it to
use a different libz library at runtime.
