Sorry, but I can't parse this. Please tell me again in different words
what BLFS is.
1) DJ Lucas, in principle, can install the "unzip.h" and "unzvers.h"
headers to /usr/include and compile his own programs (if he writes
anything) or someone else's programs (if he finds them) that use
libunzip.so.
2) BLFS doesn't contain such programs, and none of known-to-me
beyond-BLFS packages can link to libunzip.so. zziplib from
http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/ is preferred for the prupose of handling
zip archives from within programs, and is used, e.g., by PHP.
Thus, libunzip.so is a useless library for BLFS readers and should not
be installed in BLFS. That applies to any other useless library.
