Great idea. I even suggest to go further and
as for zip, use a configurable line of the form
program -option1 %I -option2 %O
where %I - input URL, %O - output file path.
Since it's actual for all platforms and can be
used by other facilities than PacMan, it deserves
a place in system Configuration dialog.
Besides choice of program it has the advantage
of using non-standard location and avoid PATH issues.
