I don't know if it should be the primary. Later, when enough function 
are added, maybe it can supersede the SDL one.

I think any users knows what is a zip file. The problem is more in the 
level of automation we give them to handle zip file.

We can add a section in the readme to point users to different solutions 
for their platform (winzip/winrar for windows to transparently browse 
zip file, under linux some plugins allow kde/gnome to do the same, ...)

I agree with you that adding support in QT ourselves would be a waste of 
time. But we can keep the SDL support now that it's here.
