Re: RFC: Add zlib source to src CVS resposity

I assume that the reason we do that for intl is because it has complex

we do ship zlib with the binutils, we might as well always build it
rather than using complex configure tests.

I think it's also for historical reasons. Nowadays most GNU utilities are not shipping with a copy intl anymore.
