Well, no-one responded so far, either everything is OK or no-one
tested it...... I suspect that the Zlib 1.2.5 still functions fine, so people
don't feel so much urge to upgrade. But that's just guessing.

Anyway, ActiveTcl 8.6.0.0 is released now (See:
http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads)
which contains the dll that I built, so if anything would be wrong
with it then I would be screwed now ;-)

My zip-file is still available at the dropbox location (see below). Does this
create enough thrust such that this can be considered official?
