[LLVMdev] proposal to avoid zlib dependency.

[Yaron Keren]

Large software libraries like OpenCV (under 3rdparty directory) do include
copies of zlib and friends and build it, for that reasons. The source code
is just half a megabyte and I think the license is compatible. We could do
the same with zlib or  miniz.
