Maybe this could be a dsource.org project.

(It not powerfull and) it's not independent:
when one deletes files from leds the files
will be sent to a zip archive (next release).
Then there is an utility to view, recover or delete
the files from the archive.
The archive can contain any number of version of each
file and stores the project from where the file was deleted.
It will be powerfull when a limit to the size of the archive
and to the number of versions for each file can be respected.

Anyone know if the std.zip can read .jar (from java's jar utility)
files? i.e. are they using the same compression method?
(anything else required?)
The first try I made I got a buffer error (not a zip error!?).

jar files are just renamed zip files. It should work. I must commend Sun for
using an existing format and not annoying everyone by inventing a new
proprietary one of dubious superiority.

I've felt many times that the .lib and .a formats should be dumped and zip
used instead.
