And all CVS versions of Makefile.in except HEAD die horribly. No thanks.

Yes, you'll screwup Makefile.in, not per tag, but per revision.

Yes. They'd have to anyway regardless of the way you do the move.

You could take a copy of thezlib dir, and use cvs delete to delete the
old one - that way you'll have the history on the new dir, and a
checkout -D in cinstall will continue to work.
