Description
My distro (Nixpkgs) includes zlib-ng with a zlib-ng.pc file. It would be nice if my system zlib-ng could be used, rather than building a new zlib-ng from source (and needing to have cmake available).

Research direction
The issue names no file or test; start by locating libz-sys’s build configuration and its existing system-library detection, then inspect how a zlib-ng.pc file could be discovered. Done should mean an installed system zlib-ng can be selected through pkg-config without requiring a source build or CMake.
