It's open source; why not do so yourself? Sure, it would be a "nice to have", (and you might like it yesterday), but it's right at the bottom of my priority pile, (especially since you've chosen to file it as an issue, and not the "feature request" that it should have been).

how was I supposed to know to use "Feature Request" instead of issues... It didn't quite seem like it belonged there but... hmm... ok corrected!

and while I could compile it myself... it more appropriate to have the package updated properly.. I have had only two requests to you in all this time... updating zLib and your MinGW-Get GUI with suggestions for improvement I made years ago on SF..

Although this isn't a particularly high priority for me, I've chosen to adopt it as an exercise, to test the mingw-port capability, (a complete and improved replacement for the old mingwPORT framework), of my mingw-pkg utility suite:–

 $ mkdir -p ~/sandbox/mingw-port
 $ cd ~/sandbox/mingw-port
 $ mingw-pkg PORTSPEC=zlib-1.2.11 import
 .
 .
 .
 $ mkdir -p build/zlib-1.2.11
 $ cd build/zlib-1.2.11
 $ mingw-pkg --srcdir=../../zlib-1.2.11 patch
 .
 .
 .
 $ mingw-pkg compile
 .
 .
 .
 $ mingw-pkg dist sign
 .
 .
 .

I guess there's no reason why I shouldn't make the resultant distributable package components available for FRS download.
