Author ZPACK-2: Read/Write ZIP lib

well, I have gotten the lib written and working well enough.
however, I am feeling too lazy to put it online right now unless anyone is
interested.

if anyone wants to look at the source or mess with the lib or anything, they
can email me here: cr88192@hormail.com and I can respond with the source as
an attachment or something...

otherwise, I wont have gone through the effort of posting it.

basically, it is a modified form of my older zpack lib/tools, just using zip
instead of the old file format. there are still a few issues to be resolved,
and I may have failed to test a few things, but oh well...


misc notes:
I had considered supporting deflate-64 output, but I checked and the windows
unzipper doesn't seem to recognize method 9, so I guess I may not generate
it by default (the lib itself can deal with it though).

currently, no zip64 features are supported.

likewise, no encryption (though, I could maybe add the old-style encryption,
but DES/3DES/AES/... would be too much effort and I don't feel like a lib
dependency).

I may consider ways of implementing forks and file fragmentation as
non-standard extensions.

and such...
