It was LDFLAGS, not LIBS, but even that didn't help.

I finally got a chance to install an Ubuntu 8.10 vm with ActiveState Perl 5.10
and try this for myself. After some fiddling, I came up with a patch to
configure.in that sets the -lzdll correctly, which seems to result in a
successful build. If you 'svn up' in the rel-2.4.6 tree for swish-e, you should
get it. The patch is here:

 http://dev.swish-e.org/changeset/2264

Let me know if that works. I haven't yet actually tested the build on windows
because I couldn't seem to get the dist.sh script to complete -- likely due to
my inability to install sysutils with apt-get per swishwiki.
