 Yes, it seems that it builds fine in some ports, altough from the recent
 bulk builds it seems to me that it is broken at least on NetBSD/i386 5.*
 and 6.* (I can confirm that it is broken in NetBSD/i386 6.1.2).

 To me it is a good idea but IMHO it is up to MAINTAINER to choose this
 way. I read if there is some information on the zlib present in glpk and
 some interesting lines can be found in NEWS:
 
  GLPK 4.46 (release date: Aug 09, 2011)
  [...]
  The zlib compression library (version 1.2.5) was ANSIfied, modified
  according to GLPK requirements and included in the distribution as an
  external software module. Thus, now this feature is platform
  independent.
  [...]
 
 If the local GLPK's modification is just cosmetic and/or for portability
 reasons I think that using pkgsrc zlib is a better idea (it's more
 tested and supported by the pkgsrc community).
 INSTALL also documents the --with-zlib argument but I think it is
 outdated.
 
 Thank you for the quick reply!
 
 PS: I forgot to bump PKGREVISION, so if my patches are applied please
 PKGREVISION++!
