Unfortunately I have to agree with Pauls here. It's not that I don't like
agreeing with him, it's that it adds more to d/l. But in this light, I think
it's better to keep the whole package or completely drop it (I can only
imagine if I got zlib from abi and all of sudden realized it wasn't realy
zlib, just about 70% of the package).

It sucks, but I agree. Either we keep it or we don't. I'd say, prefer
"don't" _if_ we have a viable alternative.
