I'm a little puzzled.  Upstream has rules for installing libminizip at
contrib/minizip/Makefile.am.  Are you saying that they are buggy or
unmaintained?

If you have bug reports in upstream's libminizip support, I'm happy to
work on them upstream.  Last time I checked, it Just Worked (tm).

I don't think it would make sense to go upstream and say "Mark Brown
is not happy with how contrib/minizip deals with the shared library.
Discuss" without further details. ;-)

Thanks,
Jonathan
