Thanks Dar- you are right it's <http://www.info-zip.org>

They have Free unzip executables for every platform, and a C library 
that is easy to wrap in a Rev external. In fact it's just a single 
function call to unzip a .zip archive file into a char buffer.

However I couldn't get the darn thing (the external) to compile on OS 
X. Couldn't compile the shared library on OS X either. There is a DLL 
for Win32. Linux support looks good. I'll probably wind up building 
external on Win32 and maybe Linux and use shell() the unzip executables 
on other platforms.
