Thanks, I appreciate the look. Could I get another set of porter eyes
and ok before I commit this with PERMIT_PACKAGE=Yes?

This is part of the standard zlib license [1]. As far as I know, we
don't do this for any of the other zlib-licensed ports. There are many,
among others are minizip, sdl*, optipng, sfml, tinyxml, and irrlicht. I
would say the assumption is that it being in ports with a patches/
directory is marking it clearly enough...
