Right.  Good point!  This whole contrib argument is really a non-issue
in this light.

I also don't understand this talk about "forking".  Chuck has made a
libz available from the original sources at info-zip.org.  This is by
no means an XFree86 package.  It was developed by the author of gzip.
It lives here:

http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/

Chuck provided a generic port of the package for use with Cygwin.  IMO,
this is what this project should be using.

Certainly no one is seriously suggesting that since you were very
arguably "first" to provide the DLL then people who want to use the
library should download the cygwin-xfree distribution.
