I thought a bit about all this and think we can keep zlib and also the other
stuff in the q3a directory. Where some file is located, is totally irrelevant.
My 'integrated development environment' (cscope+vi) will find it anyway and
I hope this is true for more sophisticated tools.
If some rules in the Makefile contain some more paths or not is also not so
important. Even now we have several files, whose are compiled in every 
subdirectory but they are located only in the game directory (bg_misc.c,
q_math.c etc). If we add rtcw, we simply get (only in Makefile rules, no copy
of C sources are allowed) the relevant files from the q3a directory and we are
ready.

I'm not really sure anymore about this: during all my replay checks I compiled
in the background the Transgaming WineX source code. Without this additional
load, it feeled much better. I think I need some more objectivity (FPS).
