Sage skips installing zlib on macos because it is installed as part of
XCode. The freetype configuration uses freetype-config which ends up
using pkg-config to find zlib. In their infinite wisdom, Apple does
not ship the .pc file:

    vbraun@Mini-M2 local % ./bin/freetype-config
    Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    Package 'zlib', required by 'libpng', not found
    Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'

Solution is to require a zlib.pc file via PKG_CHECK_MODULES([zlib], ...
