I'm not sure I understand why you are looking for something zlib-specific at all. If you need to check for a library, you can use AC_CHECK_LIB or one of its sister macros, and you can use AC_CHECK_HEADERS for header files. Your users can pass CPPFLAGS=-I... and LDFLAGS=-L... to configure if the files are to be found in nonstandard locations. gnulib also has the module havelib to make this a bit more generic and help with run paths. Hope that helps. Otherwise, please be more specific in what doesn't work for you (show code, specify needed semantics, etc).
