3. rebuilt zlib 1.1.4 as a shared library
	./configure -s (the -s is important)
	make
	make test  (they passed)
	make install

4. rebuilt and installed libxml2
	./configure
	make
	make tests (they passed)
	make install

5. rebuilt and installed swish
	./configure
	make
	make test (they passed)
	make install
