Obviously not, as zlib didn't get compiled.
I do have the zlib library on my drive and a full cygwin installation for the
basic make tools, but the instructions did not mention anything on any switches
to set the appropiate include/libs directories for zlib.
I had expected that in case of failure or a missing library compilation would
not have worked at all, stopping with some include or similar error (I'm pretty
sure that's what happened with 1.8.0).
I do recall having compiled 1.8.0 with no issues, but the Makefile has changed
quite a lot with 1.8.2 and 1.9.
I guess the proper question then is: what do I need, besides the microsoft
compiler libs and the standard cygwin tools now?
