zlib.m4:

  Only require the more recent zlibCompileFlags() when
  building the server, client zlib don't need it.
Makefile.am:
  Always build the bundled zlib static only
configure.in:
  Look for dlopen() even if --with-mysqld-ldflags constains "-static",
  as this is not the same as the flag to "ld", it just informs
  "libtool" to link static with libraries created part of the build,
  even if there exists shared versions.
make_binary_distribution.sh:
  Real "mysqlmanager" executable might be in ".libs"
