Build Identifier: 

The directories "modules/zlib/src" and "security/nss/cmd/zlib" contain duplicate copies of the zlib library.  
It seems silly to include two copies, especially given that the source is almost identical between the two.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Neither copy is in a Firefox specific directory.

There are two copies for a reason: NSS is it's own product, which is versioned
separately from the main tree. The CVS branching structure and the build system
both require the separate copies.
