Issue compiling subversion with supplied zlib

If i try to compile subversion 1.5.1 with an external zlib, and there is no "zlib.h" in my
default include path (ie, in /usr/include).

./configure ... --with-zlib=/path/to/zlib

Then serf fails to compile, stating that it cannot find "zlib.h" include file.

I have worked around the problem by modifying the makefile to add the appropriate
header include and lib include

    -I /path/to/zlib/include
    -L /path/to/zlib/lib

I'm assuming that the serf module simply needs to pay attention to the "--with-zlib"
option, which it currently does not seem to do.

This is running on Redhat EL 5, with the 1.5.1 + deps distribution. This stems from
the fact that I can't seem to find the "zlib-devel" package for EL 5, which contains
the zlib.h header file, so I had to make zlib myself.
