We could maybe include the zlib, but OpenSSL is just too big. It is
bigger than TSVN itself, so I really don't like to include it in our
repository. Another thing is that when a new version comes out, I'd have
to check which files got deleted/moved and do those steps in Subversion
manually.
I still hope that OpenSSL will one day switch to Subversion so that we
can include it via svn:externals.
