1) Why does the package Makefile set CPPFLAGS to -I${PREFIX}/include?
   If it's to find the zlib headers, you shouldn't need to do anything
   at all after including the zlib/buildlink3.mk file.

2) The package Makefile sets MAKE_ENV to various macros for installing
   files.  INSTALL_DIR should probably be set to ${INSTALL_LIB_DIR}.

3) patch-Makefile is incorrect.  The package should be respecting the
   value of ${PKGMANDIR} for the location of the manpages.

4) Why does the patch to configure.ac set the version to 1.3 while the
   package version is 1.3.2?
