Ok, please don't commit this. This hack is ugly enough now, I would prefer not 
having ping/pong between two incompatibles ugly hacks.

I think that if zlib is GPL compatible, that's ok. I don't know wether it is 
or not.

If I'm correct (90% confidence), it is easy to mix static/dynamic libs: If you 
don't specify -static to ld, then you have dynamic libc and any lib you do 
not specify by adding a .a to the object list. If you do specify -static to 
ld, then it will try to link everything in static, and fail otherwise.
