i really need 7z. The reason is that i'm using Qt IFW that uses the 7z
format internally, and my packaging scripts are outputing packages that
will later on be read by the Qt IFW installer that has been built.

That's exactly what i'm doing right now, as the command line
switches from the Windows version of 7zip is exactly the same
as the 7za i used to have.

Thank you for your time Earnie!
Pierre.
