Following review at:

I'm asking for a bundling exception for MiniZip in the dhewm3 package.

ID Software added a function to MiniZip that is required for the engine to
open game data archive files:

https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/neo/framework/minizip/unzip.cpp#L68
https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/neo/framework/minizip/unzip.cpp#L2159

Upstream dhewm3 developers have been very keen on removing bundled
libraries but this can't be removed due to the added function:

https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/pull/88#issuecomment-29705454

They have nevertheless removed all extra custom functions that have been
later integrated into official MiniZip; updated it to avoid clashes and
made adjustments to enable merging a newer MiniZip easily if that is
required.

Thanks,
--Simone
