So, to your point about the code, could we just detect if it's zip'd and then
unzip, and otherwise handle it identically? If that just adds one if statement
rather than having to handle the two files in completely different ways I
think it's a win... it gets us to supporting this with no additional
requirements, and then we can look at replacing zzip with zip in a follow up 
diff.

If not, but we want to replace zip with zzip, I'm OK with that, I'm just
loathe to temporarily add an additional dependency. We could make a branch for
mh-config-dumping and work there until we had the whole thing done, but it's
still be multiple patches... though I prefer the previous suggestion more.
