This is needed for builds with the mingw64-* packages from Cygwin,
but also works for Linux.
Move the zlib test also more to the end because users should
get information on the really important missing packages
(which also require zlib) first.

According to the zlib Changelog file pkgconfig support was added
in 2006 !

Changes in 1.2.3.1 (16 August 2006)
- Add pkgconfig support [Weigelt]
[/quote]
Given our target build platforms support guidelines
https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Supported-build-platforms
we can safely say that all supported platforms will have a zlib
that contains pkgconfig support, so......

.... this fallback support for non-pkgconfig scenarios can be entirely
deleted, just leaving the error_exit message.

I have no objection. Thank you for the investigation of the zlib
history. Removing old unneeded code is always good, but maybe that's
something which could be done after release 3.0.
Or would you suggest to do it now? Then I can either send an updated
patch (v2), or whoever pulls that patch can make that trivial modification.
Cheers
Stefan

If we're ok with adding support for pkg-config in 3.0, I think it is
reasonable to drop the fallback check at the same time. I think it
this stills qualify as a bug fix patch in terms of our freeze rules,
since we're specificially aiming to fix build problems on one of our
supported platforms.
So personally I'd suggest sending a v2 with the fallback dropped.
for 3.0

Daniel

This feels like the kind of change that we're all pretty certain is safe that then turns out not to be for some case or other, and it's easier not to have to fix it up later. thanks -- PMM
