[PATCH] Compress::Zlib

["Paul Marquess" <Paul.Marquess@ntlworld.com>]

This patch (hopefully) sorts out the intermittent failures that have been
hitting Compress::Zlib in the smokes on Win32 over the last couple of weeks
(mostly from your smokes Steve). 

Turns out it's our old friend/fiend binmode yet again. One of the fields in
a gzip header is a 32-bit time value - a lot of the gzip-specific tests in
Compress::Zlib use the current time for this field and if the bit pattern
for the time just happens to smell like an end-of-line, windows does it
usual trick of mangling it. Blech!
