Only problem is that most jvms would like to read core lib from
zipped/jarred archive... and to do this need zlib on native side. So it
is basic bootstrapping problem - you need zip implementation to read zip
implementation :)
Of course one can possiblty store some basic classes in normal
filesystem, with rest in zip. But it is quite tricky to get everything
right.
