This embrace&extend approach doesn't exactly speak in favor of
upstream's good development attitude :-(

Kees, do we have a list of embedded code copies, similar to
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/data/embedded-code-
copies?op=file ? It should at least be added there. Can someone please
open a new bug against erlang to remove the embedded copy?

Debian went through a major effort of removing embedded zlibs, since
they were a real pain in the past several times. It feels sad to torpedo
these efforts.
