The above is one part of the story.

The reason for the above is that we did at one point needed to make
global.h available in the exported include directory and we got a name
conflict with 'global.h'.
Becasue of this we export global.h as my_global.h.
In MySQL 4.0 we will change all source files to use my_global.h
directly, after which we will not need global.h anymore.

The file in include/zlib.h is there to not have to add the path to
zlib when compiling the client directories.
I didn't want to remove zlib/zlib.h because I wanted to keep this
directory similar to the original zlib distribution.
