I've just run into an issue with this (commit a1207910968). The makefile
now assumes that zic has this switch. But I was attempting to get around
an issue on msys2 by using its zic, (ZIC=/usr/bin/zic configure ...). It
crashes on the floor because it doesn't know about "-b slim". I think we
probably need a way to turn this off.
