Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: p7zip

To allow the creation of windows auto-extractable file under
linux the libary 7z.sfx is missing in the package.

Since (our) windows users do not like to install 
the 7zip tool I have to distribute auto-extractable archives.

TODO

1) Extract 7z.sfx  from the windows distribution or 
sources. Target dir : 

r...@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# cp 7z.sfx /usr/lib/p7zip/
r...@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# chmod 755 7z.sfx
r...@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# chown root:root 7z.sfx

2) usage and test:

r...@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# 7z a -sfx7z.sfx "pingpong.exe" *
