CMake: including current src directory into include path #218

Hi.

Line 86 of cmakelists is:

include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})

However, it does not do what it is actually supposed to do.
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR is "The path to the top level of the source tree."
While clearly, you want the path to the current src dir, i.e. CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, like it happens in MSVC case.

The difference is, this way, if zlib is used in another project via add_subdirectory(), it actually uses it's own zlib.h, not the system one:

$ cmake --build ./ -- -j1

(i added 212121 to /usr/include/zlib.h to illustrate the point.)
