Guy Harris 23d1a63f39 zlib 1.0.8 - the version that comes with X11 - does have "gzseek()",
even if it doesn't have "gzgets()", so one might think we could use it
by using our own replacement for "gzgets()".

One would be wrong to think so, however, as the "gzseek()" it has
doesn't actually work when reading uncompressed files.

zlib 1.0.9 has "gzgets()", and fixes that bug, so we rever to checking
for "gzgets()" rather than "gzseek()", so that we don't accept pre-1.0.9
versions of zlib, and we get rid of our "gzgets()" replacement.

# Check for "gzgets()" in zlib, because we need it, but
# some older versions of zlib don't have it. It appears
# from the zlib ChangeLog that any released version of zlib
# with "gzgets()" should have the other routines we
# depend on, such as "gzseek()", "gztell()", and "zError()".
#
# Another reason why we require "gzgets()" is that
# some versions of zlib that didn't have it, such
# as 1.0.8, had a bug in "gzseek()" that meant that it
# doesn't work correctly on uncompressed files; this
# means we cannot use version 1.0.8. (Unfortunately,
# that's the version that comes with recent X11 source,
# and many people who install XFree86 on their Slackware
# boxes don't realize that they should configure it to
# use the native zlib rather than building and installing
# the crappy old version that comes with XFree86.)
#
# I.e., we can't just avoid using "gzgets()", as
# versions of zlib without "gzgets()" are likely to have
# a broken "gzseek()".
