That wouldn't save us anyway since we'd still need at least unzip in the tree. I figure if we're going to bring something like zip/unzip in, we might as well try to add some value to it. A library API to zip would be useful for a lot of things, I think. > Also, what kind of API would you like to see?

I will do precisely that! Jordan
