Hello, please review this small  AIX - specific change .

Currently we use by default the bundled zlib  (= zlib coming with OpenJDK)   on Windows, on other platforms the system zlib.
However it is possible to switch to the bundled zlib  in the configure process .

We had some build issues on AIX  build systems with ancient system-zlibs ,  so I propose to use as default the bundled zlib on AIX too .
(would also mean that  we use a current 1.2.11  in the build on AIX which is not bad, on some AIX machines I've seen older zlibs)
