this was created to test the idea proposed in 
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4374
as result, i think a zip:// protocol has some problems

- strict uri syntax can only open files in current directory
- user shouldn't have to specify the archive format. this should be 
autodetected (zip, rar, ... arj)
- want ability to grab zip files over other protocols 
'vfs:http://subtitles.org/amovie.zip:amovie.srt'
- default action to open the first inner file?

We duplicated out work. I implemented it too, just wanted to add write too and have no time recently. I submitted my version in separate thread.

Issue 1 and 4 are supported in my patch.
Issue 2 is not the issue, it just need to be implemented, but in this case this "protocol" should be called "archive" or something. Regarding Issue 3 this is probably not possible with libzip. It allows to open archive by descriptor, so it gives possibility to get http's or ftp's handle in theory (or ffmpeg could created named pipe and push data from remote host into it), but I expect this need to be seekable. I haven't tested yet though.
