This is useful for projects on which multiple people are working or where archives of previous versions of files need to be kept. The cvs-1.11.2-zlib.patch patch is used to compile CVS dynamically against zlib instead of using the version included with the CVS source. This has the advantage that if (or when) there is a security vulnerability found in zlib, you don't need to wait for a new version of CVS to appear as once you have upgraded zlib, the problem will be fixed.
