This is a quick port of Zip and UnZip from the InfoZip project, you can
find the 68k binaries and the documentation on this directory in the
archives Zip.lha and UnZip.lha. You can find more info about the InfoZip
project at: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/

The executables are ELF binaries, use the "ElfLoadSeg" patch or one of the
various runelf starters to run it, it's tested only with ppc.library 45.20.

I made this quick port since I need a quick and powerful archiver/dearchiver.

The tests I've made shows that "zip -9" is on my 604e 180mhz about 3 times
quicker than the 68k version on my 060/50mhz, I think this peformances can
be improved a lot but I've not time to minimize context switches and the
results are already very good (about 15 times quicker than a stock 4000/040).

With unzip -t I was able to check a 25mb zip file in less than 15 seconds.

I do this port in a few hours so maybe there is some bug, please send me
a detailed report if you have some problem.

Thanks to Steve Krueger for his great SAS/C PPC compiler!
