Folks,

I'm syncing the latest zlib source (which uses K&R function signatures) into Compress::Raw::Zlib  to deal with CVE-2018-25032<https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jc36-42cf-vqwj>.

Would prefer to just leave the zlib source files as-is, but I think there is an issue with having K&R signatures in the Perl source.

Aaaah, think I remember - do we outlaw K&R to allow building with a C++ compiler?

Thanks
Paul
