Yeah, that would be lovely--the catch is that we'd need to work out
the MIME types for anything inside the Zip file. At the moment, we
don't have any "magic MIME" code to work out a file type based on the
data--this is used in the "file" command and Apache's mod_mime_magic,
but we don't have anything comparable right now.

I understand your application and it sounds like a good one--the snag
that we had when writing the new "external converter" code was that
there wasn't yet a great way to know the MIME type from the resulting
output from unzip or ungzip or untar...

Your English is just fine. Better than my French. :-)
