* Update to the latest upstream version - 1.2.5

* Remove hacks for OSX
* Remove the -fPIC flag from spkg-install, which was added so zlib
worked properly on at least Debian on the Opteron processor. The
-fPIC flag is added by the new zlib, so there is no need to add it
in spkg-install. This has been tested on OS X, Linux and OpenSolaris.
In each case, -fPIC gets added.

are none in the latest source code.
