However, the zlib project is not smart enough to remove anything under
zlib-1.2.3\ when you do a clean, so if you want to rebuild zlib.lib
you need to clean up zlib-1.2.3\ by hand.
+ When building zlib.pyd for Itanium, the pre-link build step won't work,
+ so you will need to invoke nmake manually, using an IA64 build
+ environment.
