I think all of this looks good.  My only comment is that I think it
would save work in the long run to not use static libs in the static
dir, but instead put in the src trees for zlib, libpng and freetype,
because then it can be reused by all other platforms (win32, UNIX*,
linux, OSX...).  It's a little more work initially, but the work will
benefit many more platforms.  We could then distribute this tar file
as a separate file to keep the distribution size down.  I think that
zlib and png are pretty trivial (everything in one dir); freetype
would take a little thought because of its more complicated dir
structure.
