I am implementiing an archive based deployment model for Axis2 C.
For that we need an uncompression library. I was considering zlib,
but according to the FAQ, it can't handle the ZIP format.

Therefore, I am proposing to use minizip.

But minizip does not have an installable library. We can include it
with the axis2 distribution as a library. We won't change the
minizip souce and I think it should be distributed under the minizip
license. Minizip license is same as zlib, I am attaching it with
this mail.
Instead of shipping it, cant we make it an optional feature so that
users could download and compile if they wish so?
The problem is minizip does not have an installable library. If we
are going to use minizip we want to create it.
What do you mean by "We want to create it"? Is our code too much
dependent on minizip? Arn't there any other open source zip libraties?
