This diff removes our local changes, most of which relate to saving space on ramdisks, we still need these. Note that there are two main copies of libz (lib/libz and sys/lib/libz) to keep in sync. (there are also other copies in Perl and cvs, I'm not sure whether they are used or not). I prepared an update to 1.2.6 before (my method was to diff the two upstream versions and apply that to our tree, resolving conflicts by hand, so as not to lose local changes), but as the reaction was less than positive I didn't go as far as updating the kernel copy.
