As far as I can tell, LuaZip is an orphaned project. The latest
release from Kepler is from 2007. The code seems stable, so taking
over maintenence seems a low-overhead activity, but I don't wish to
maintain it myself.

There's a git-conversion of the CVS from LuaForge at:

https://github.com/luaforge/luazip

Ryan, if you wish to fork this, commit the changes and tag a new
release, I can help you out with the rockspec.
