Thanks for the script, it's very useful for making https://github.com/DSchroer/openscad-wasm possible!

Could you please update... zlib 1.2.13 is not available anymore, current version is now 1.3 (could be downloaded via https too).

No problem, I'm glad it's useful.

The latest revision of this gist should fix this.

Thank you so much for this @kleisauke! With this I was able to update glib on emscripten-forge (emscripten-forge/recipes#1164)
