But that has nothing to do with the cyg prefix. The name of
the dll itself is in fact not worth to discuss. The problem
is in using _any_ other libz library besides the libz which
is provided by the Cygwin base distro. Moving it to latest
wouldn't be a problem but I don't think that matters.
What really matters are the problems which are raised by
providing another version of libz.a or libz.dll.a (note
the suffix) which load another {lib|cyg|red|foo}z.dll.
