Twice now in the short period I've been involved with this Repo, the online sources for dependencies as defined in the Makefile have gone down or moved. The latest one is XZ utilities site https://tukaani.org/ which is now showing as blocked by the service provider, and so the build is failing.
It seems to me that it is a bit precarious to rely on downloading packages from a variety of different sources every time we want to build the WASM stable version (nightly version will use libzim.a from kiwix-build when ready and tested). @kelson42 what solution would you suggest? Can I commit required dependency archives here and use local copies rather than downloading from the Web? I have copies of the current unzipped archives that are needed for the Makefile, but .gitignore is set to ignore them all currently.

@kelson42 I will be fixing #12 asap, but as I need to be able to experiment with #17 if we are to support anything other than latest Chrome and Firefox desktop versions (libzim.wasm doesn't work on Chrome Android or UWP or IE11), I still need the ability to build from source in order to find a solution to this issue. Once I find a solution, I'll suggest it on kiwix-build if necessary.
Therefore, I would like to be sure that the dependencies needed to build from source won't suddenly disappear from the Web, as happened with XZ utilities, and can be kept up-to-date.
