Using the external libminizip library provided by the OS

[sanvila]

Hello. Currently, src/sbml/SBMLWriter.cpp has this in a hardcoded way:

#include <sbml/compress/CompressCommon.h>
#include <sbml/compress/OutputCompressor.h>

Would there be any way to use the existing libminizip library instead of using the embedded one? Currently, the Debian package is flagged by lintian (our package checker) with the error "embedded-library" as shown here:

https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=libsbml

so naturally we would much prefer to link with the external library for which a Debian package already exists.

Thanks.

I am not sure, what it would take to use different libraries. It seems to be possible, since fedora shows an external minizip dependency https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libsbml/libsbml/fedora-rawhide.html#files. Improvements are certainly welcome
