Two issues here: 1) ZLIB doesn't have a consistent place for downloading any version. Which means we need to pay attention to this. 2) Our release procedures doesn't have us testing get-deps.sh and since we as devs don't use it very often it gets missed. I've updated the release procedures to include a check for get-deps.sh now.
