I was reading the news from RHEL 10 and I saw that they have the following paragraph:

zlib-ng-compat replaces zlib in RHEL 10

The new zlib-ng-compat package provides a general-purpose lossless data compression library that is used by many different programs. This implementation provides various benefits over zlib distributed in RHEL 9. For example, zlib-ng-compat supports hardware acceleration when available and enhances compression efficiency and performance. zlib-ng-compat is built in API and ABI compatible mode to ensure a smooth transition from zlib.

I guess we could think as well to replace zlib with it in gvsbuild

I think it is needed to have a feature to select zlib or zlib-ng.
