Fw: [PATCH] Allow usage of external zlib copy

[Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò]

After Phil Race's suggestion, I'm forwarding this to core-libs, as it
might be more appropriate.

Subject: [PATCH] Allow usage of external zlib copy


Most distributions have policies about using external copies of
libraries whenever possible. OpenJDK ships with a series of libraries
that are usually available on a system, like zlib and jpeg, thus
breaking such a policy.

The attached patch tries to correct part of this by letting use of
external zlib copy when passing EXTERNAL_ZLIB=true at the make process.

I'm also gonna work on a similar patch to use external jpeg library
(that will likely depend on this one because of some of the files
touched being the same).
