Casting away const manually isn't much of an improvement, and will more
than likely provoke warnings of its own on other compilers.
Aren't you overdue for a zlib update? I'm pretty sure there are known
security bugs in 1.1.4 (which dates from 2002). I see no such warning
with zlib 1.2.3, which itself isn't exactly wet behind the ears (2005).
