OptiPNG can be compiled with the system libz, but according to the author then 
OptiPNG may not be as efficient. He only changed some constants in zlib so I 
do not think this will be changed upstream. In libpng he changed some 
constants, too. But he also uses some private functions or structures that 
cannot be accessed otherwise.
