java.util.zip is not merged completely due to the JNI/CNI issues you mentioned.
Makefile.am is the automake file used to generate the ultimate Makefile.
In our current implementation, I believe all the Makefile.am in java
source directories do is make sure the files get included in a package
build. Look at another directory for an example.
You'll also need to add zlib to the configure.in. Maybe Brian Jones can
help with that.
