... and infoZIP, which is now required to build libjava.
Interestingly, other GNU projects (including bison) are no longer
distributing intl. So, I think I agree that zlib and libintl should not
be distributed.
One point in favor of distributing gmp is that (according to its
maintainers) it's an incredible stress test for GCC, and a lot of .0 GCC
versions are known to miscompile it.
