Comment 13 for bug 401691

I'm still talking with upstream. Based on that, I am optimistic that Erlang will use standard zlib libraries well in time for 10.04. Elliot has been having a conversation about the test suite, and he's optimistic that it will be available in time for 10.04 also.

While this means that Erlang for 9.10 would use a patched zlib, and would have no test suite, the situation will improve dramatically for 10.04.
