Remarks to the debian source of maqview
---------------------------------------

The upstream source of maqview contains a copy of an older zlib version
than it is packaged for Debian.  Moreover the copy of the code is wronly
used in contrast to the explicite hint in the header files which say

/* WARNING: this file should *not* be used by applications. It is
   part of the implementation of the compression library and is
   subject to change. Applications should only use zlib.h.
 */

it uses those header files internally.  So the attempt to provide a
clean source without zlib was stopped.  Upstream was contacted about
this problem and perhaps there is some chance to fix the source code.
Meanwhile the original upstream tarball is provided with exception of
the .svn dir which was contained.  The .svn dir was removed and the
version of the source tarball was appended by "~zlibcopy" to explicitely
hint about this problem.
