It was a slight phylisophical shift. Although zlib and metakit aren't standard on all systems, they are standard on many systems, and there were various problems trying to build them inside of the simgear make system. So, I ripped out the zlib and metakit trees from the distribution so they are never built by default as part of simgear, and instead include zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz and metakit-2.4.2-32.tar.gz as a convenience for those that do need to build these packages themselves. But, because they are configured and compiled separately, simgear builder can better follow their specific install instructions and won't have the problem with simgear inadvertantly screwing things up on some platforms.
