So if you downloaded mylib.zip, every file it needs is in there. No need to separately hunt down random.garbage.0.5.3.2.tar.xz as well. Bascially, the developer can compile it on his machine. He sends me the files he used to build it all in one place. That way, it is guaranteed to work - everything needed is right there.
