FindZLIB.cmake uses FIND_PATH and FIND_LIBRARY which should automatically
honor CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH already according to the
documentation of those commands at
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html.  See also
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables.  So FIND_PACKAGE(ZLIB)
should just work without any further change if you have those environment
variables set properly.
