Nice.  We will commit something like this.

Strictly speaking, I believe we cannot distribute the binary without
also offering the source code.  (Not just a link to the source, but
the actual source.)  And 7za.exe is a good half-megabyte, twice the
current contents of Z:\bin combined.  And 7-zip is pretty useful...  I
would figure that the kind of people who use Emacs would be happy to
use a free zip utility.

So my inclination is to just have emacs.bat invoke 7-zip.bat first.
Would that be so bad?
