The idea is to use zip from pkzip, the same algo as gzip but zips files 
individually then archieve, so that it is possible to lookup files names and 
size without decompression. This would ensure a nice integration into the 
filesystem.

Otherwise, congratulation for the work. I need to find time to test it :-)

Have a nice day,

Steph
