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.
