For Emacs with native compilation enabled, the zlib support takes
another role: if the *.el files are installed compressed, then Emacs
_must_ have zlib support, or else it will be unable to use the *.eln
files, because it must verify the *.el source files correspond to the
*.eln files. So if you build an Emacs with native compilation, but
without zlib, do NOT compress the *.el file at "make install" time.
