Arggh.... two steps forward, one back...

As Neil mentioned I'ved merged his changes to the zip plugin to allow
in memory unpacking, and it then use istreams to read the final modes,
and it looks like the .x plugin doesn't support reading from streams
yet.

There are lots of benefits with doing in memory unpacking of zip
files, such being able to read them from streams making it possible to
handle models zipped up and placed on http.  The ideal solution would
be to add streams support into .x plugin and any others that it's
missing for.

Another missing bit of the jigsaw is adding osgDB::Archive support
into the zip plugin so it can allow the model to be loaded and then
any other internally stored images to be loadable at the same time.

Robert.
