Hi Glenn, 
I'm perfectly fine with the Clam-SA installer not installing the zlib,
my only intent was to point out that the installer failed and I thought
I would post my observations to the MailScanner community.  My original
email only posted my observations and the findings, it wasn't asking for
help.

I would like to be able to pass a "yes" option to the Clam-SA installer
so the installer can be automated.
