As a side effect, zlib and libpng are now git submodules,
based on their respective official git repositories.
This is necessary, because MinGW has a different ABI and
it cannot use the prebuilt binaries built by MSVC.
The submodules are also used for Windows, for several reasons:
* to allow 64-bit builds;
* to allow using newer MSVC, which doesn't like the prebuilt
libraries;
* to keep the libraries updated.
