I explicitly set ZLIB_LIBDIR and ZLIB_INCDIR at the command line and
LuaRocks didn't seem to have any issues finding zlib this time.
Unfortunately fixing that just brought about another issue, namely the
absence of a "Makefile.win" file. I tried adapting the existing
Makefile and saving it as Makefile.win, but this gave me an error.

This is the output I get:
--------
>luarocks ZLIB_LIBDIR=C:\Users\CoonPC\Downloads\zlib125dll\dllx64 ZLIB_INCDIR=C:\Users\CoonPC\Downloads\zlib125\zlib-1.2.5 make lzlib-0.3-1.rockspec

Makefile.win(56) : fatal error U1000: syntax error : ')' missing in macro invoca
tion

Here's a paste of Makefile.win:

Thank you both for the help.
