[Zlib-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Let libminizip makefile build minizip, miniunzip by default

If minizip / miniunzip are not installed by default, they will get less testing.
I am personally using minizip to prepare data for distribution within
my company,
perhaps for historical reasons (1. I compiled it using rsync-friendly
patch for zlib to get reasonably small xdelta files (since then i
switched to using xdelta files on uncompressed data and advzip to
recompressing)
 2. it allowed me to easily have files stored in sorted-by-path order)
Surely my case is not enough to justify any specific choice (or maybe
more people are using minizip?)

Best regards,

Wojtek
