Thanks for the clarification, Peter.  I think the plan is to include 
Cygwin in TL2009, and Karl asked me to build the binaries for it.  So I 
will avoid using the system zlib.  Do you have any suggestions for the 
best way to prevent libtool from adding -lz to the final link line for 
xetex.exe?  I know of two ways.  The first is to use Angelo's 
workaround.  The second is to temporarily remove -lz from the dependency 
list in /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la while doing the TL build.  Is there a 
better approach that I'm missing?

Thanks.
