Summary: No feedback when zipping

Initial Comment:
When a user zips his files for session synchronization
the invited user gets no feedback but "waiting for archive file".

Message:
Marked as fixed, progress monitor now displays what remote side is
currently doing (zipping files). And again, there is nothing wrong with
zipping the files. It would not change. We cannot do more than calling the
API methods.

Message:
It's interesting that zipping take so long on a MAC. We should further
investigate why the speed is significantly slower than on windows
computers, as i never observed zipping to take that long.

Even with my broken HDD (already arrived at the click...clack..click..clack
noices...) the zipping of 80MB (Saros with some garbage inside) takes less
than 30 seconds.

We should primarily try to increase the speed of the zipping and unzipping,
so it's not that severe :-)

Message:
On macs zipping 21MB takes 3 minutes.
For the created zip (12MB) to unzip it takes another 30 seconds.
If people wouldn't be connected via Skype or something equivalent you would
wonder if something even happens.

Message:
The remoteProgressMonitor would also overlap the existing progress monitor
from the job. and i don't think that the zipping progress is so important,
that users would accept having yet another window pop up in their eclipse
instance :-)

Message:
We would have to use a remoteProgress monitor to display more information
here, but it's  difficult to decide in which intervals the remote user
should get details on the zipping progress without significantly slowing
down the overall invitation process by doing that.

The statistics clearly indicate: the average size of transferred projects
is less than 3.25 MB. This should get zipped within less than 5 seconds on
any pc, so i reduced the priority of this bug.

I also thought about renaming the message to "Host is zipping files.
Waiting for the ZIP file" or something similar.
