### Configure Zlib Example Dependencies

Source: https://github.com/zlib-ng/minizip-ng/blob/develop/CMakeLists.txt

Configures include directories and dependencies for zlib example executables ('example' and 'example64') when MZ_ZLIB is enabled, MZ_LIBCOMP is not, and ZLIB_FOUND is false. This ensures the zlib source directory is available for the example targets.

if(MZ_ZLIB AND NOT MZ_LIBCOMP AND NOT ZLIB_FOUND)
    if(TARGET example)
        target_include_directories(example PRIVATE ${ZLIB_SOURCE_DIR})
        add_dependencies(${MINIZIP_TARGET} example)
    endif()
    if(TARGET example64)
