Description:
------------
Right now, there's this package, there's a pecl extension, and there's a 'new' zip extension. Each has different APIs, each does pretty much the same thing.
It would be good if Archive_Zip could simply load the driver the user wants to do the manipulation needed.
This would allow for packages like HTTP_Download to swap to using the latest zip driver bundled with php5.2 if they want.

Oops, scratch all of that, I can just use File_Archive instead for what I want.

That would be nice. I recently took over Archive_Zip and plan to integrate the PECL Zip extension for users who have it. And I believe you are comparing the new and old zip apis, both of which are in PECL (together) currently... is that right?
At some point (when I get serious) time will be spent comparing File_Archive's Zip features and we'll discuss collaborating the two together. It's a little odd to maintain the two different ways (in PEAR) currently.
