Why this change?  Is it because you fear we might not test the conditional
compilation without zlib often enough? Or is it because you believe almost
(all?) already compile with zlib anyway.
When looking at the -dev mailing list history, some people were (are?)
still building Wireshark without zlib (see for example the thread starting
here: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201209/msg00187.html or
the fact that people once in a while upload patches to fix build without
zlib).

Regards,
Pascal.
