-1 on this. We have a configure script for a reason, why do we want to
take away it's usefulness?
I'd rather see the end user decide if they want to enable a capability,
keeping everything disabled until they say so. I'm not a real fan of
enabling everything by default (which is what is happening).
Now if you were to modify the --with-pear option to force zlib to be
included, thats a different story. That would get a +1 from me.
