If you downloaded the zlib file from the link in the first post and extracted it properly you would have zlib1.dll and some text files in the root directory and 3 directories named include, lib, test. The zlib.lib file is in the lib directory and that is where you should point the compiler.
I use MySQL 5.0.91 and have no trouble with missing files. You might try the older version as it seems you have either installed improperly or the layout and location of files has changed.
You shouldn't ever have to rename files in order to get this to work. If you find yourself missing files it is always going to be that you downloaded the wrong thing or installed it improperly.
