The things I've done so far concerning 'zip' is to make a diff file of
the GCCSDK zip code changes made compared to the official version 2.3
(or was it 2.32 ?) used.

Those changes are:

        - RISC OS filetype support used for both cross-compiling and native
          build.
        - Option "-," for cross-compiling triggering the ",xyz" filetype
          support.
        - APCS-32 assembler changes only relevant for native build.

I thought of using this diff file for a new infozip project in Autobuiler
and to use this also to build a zip binary to be used in cross-compiling
situations.  It's perhaps a bit odd to use data from an Autobuilder project
to create a tool to be used by Autobuilder itself.  Comments ?

John.
