I had a version that embeds a zip file before having an uncompressed one.
It just seemed to me that it was asking a lot of the TCC project to include
zlib and a new version of minizip/miniunzip and figure out how to build
that on all systems.
I can just make a git with that, which has those projects and a microsoft
solution that builds a static linkable unzip library to link in, it's just
that it feels a bit weird to throw a bunch of different libraries together
and upload all of their directories as one project.
