While this is not a problem for Windows users (the libraries for the Windows version are bundled (statically linked) with the exe, this would either require Linux users to install a development SVN version, or require us to statically link PhysFS. Additionally the devs need to keep in sync with the PhysFS trunk. Additionally I fear that my implementation is not optimal for short and random access of large files: It decompresses a complete block of the 7zip file into memory. All future access to files in these blocks are then very fast (much faster than eg. the zip implementation), but you also have a much bigger memory-footprint and the delay on 1st access is quite big. Maybe I'll write a more stream-based implementation some day in the future... --Dennis
