zlib 1.3.2 changed its cmake output file names on Windows: - zlibstatic.lib -> zs.lib - zlib.lib -> z.lib - zlib.dll -> z.dll SPC's zlib builder expects the old names, and PHP's configure looks for zlib_a.lib or zlib.lib. With neither present, zlib is silently excluded and the link step fails with 12 unresolved zlib symbols from curl, openssl, and libssh2. This adds a conditional workaround that renames the files and re-runs configure + nmake when the issue is detected. It can be removed once static-php-cli updates their zlib builder.

Fixes #514
This is a bit messy but see the issue for the rationale. I'm hoping this is just a temporary workaround and you can get rid of it after other fixes upstream.
