zippy: Re-release snappy 1.1.5 as 1.1.6.
The migration from autotools to CMake in 1.1.5 wasn't as smooth as intended. The SONAME / SOVERSION were broken in both build systems, causing breakages in systems that upgraded from snappy 1.1.4 to 1.1.5, as reported in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/15274 and https://github.com/google/snappy/pull/45.

+Snappy v1.1.6, July 12th 2017:
+
+This is a re-release of v1.1.5 with proper SONAME / SOVERSION values.
+
Snappy v1.1.5, June 28th 2017:
+This release has broken SONAME / SOVERSION values. Users of snappy as a shared
+library should avoid 1.1.5 and use 1.1.6 instead. SONAME / SOVERSION errors will
+manifest as the dynamic library loader complaining that it cannot find snappy's
+shared library file (libsnappy.so / libsnappy.dylib), or that the library it
+found does not have the required version. 1.1.6 has the same code as 1.1.5, but
+carries build configuration fixes for the issues above.
+
* Add CMake build support. The autoconf build support is now deprecated, and
will be removed in the next release.
