Note that the zip package is /not/ a Unix source code package, but a 
generic platform-independent one; as such it does not conform to the 
typical unixoid conventions.

In order to turn the generic source code package into a Unix-specific 
one, you'll have to run "prebuild.sh" from the "./unix" directory.

Among other things, this will create the "./configure" script in the 
main directory, which then in turn generates the files needed by "make".
