(Please note that OpenSSL & zlib are *not* located under the ext\ folder
in the TSVN repository.)

We have Berkeley-db, ResizableLib and so on in the repository. I do not
see the difference here.

By including OpenSSL and zlib in the repository it would be less steps
in the build-instructions, and one would not risk that the different
developers of TSVN uses different (outdated) versions. Simply less
error-prone!
