Do test it though. I tested it streaming large files in (100MB), and 
found that it created a tempfile behind the scenes. If it does this for 
*all* files, then it may not be any more efficient than using 
archive-tar-minitar.

But it does have a simple API, which is essentially the same as File and 
Dir. (Although unfortunately you can't use it to open a zipfile which is 
within a zipfile :-)
