It's quite possible.  I'll check and fix that.

Ah yes.  The patch adds it to the top level Makefile.am, but you'll need
to configure with --enable-maintainer-mode so that automake gets run.

It might fail to run correctly though - looking at the zlib changelog,
you probably need 1.2.0 to be able to set a dictionary with raw deflate
(which is what the patch uses).
