well it is not that i want to completely remove zlib, but i currently
have too many of them ;)

i've already tried to compile with -system-zlib, but Qt5Core.lib still
contains zlib symbols.
or do i need to/am i able to explicitly specify my zlib when compiling qt?

i'm using qt from a plugin context. static linking will avoid some
problems which could occur when linking dynamically.

thnx,
tim
