Build with zlib

[carlo.bramix]

Hello,
from the compilation log you can read:

[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\adler32.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\compress.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\crc32.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\gzio.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\uncompr.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\deflate.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\trees.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\zutil.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\inflate.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\infback.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\inftrees.c
[CC]       lib\3rdparty\zlib\inffast.c
[AR]       obj-i386\lib\3rdparty\zlib\zlib.a

why does it compile zlib.a (absolutely unuseful in my opinion)  instead of zlib1.dll with its libz.a?
This log has been taken from the compilation of ReactOS and *not* from the "make bootcd" session.

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.

Um, because it's a static library? Do you see it in the "dll" directory or
in the "lib" directory?

Sounds like you just aswered the question "Why is it a static library?" 
with "because it's a static library" and justified it with the fact that 
it's in the lib folder ;-)
