Wow, that is strikingly similar to the third paragraph of the Wikipedia
article on the zip format, even preserving the order in which those
formats are mentioned!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.zip

"Examples of this usage are Java JAR files, Python .egg files, SilverLight
.xap files...as well as OpenDocument and Office Open XML office formats...
Google Earth makes use of KMZ files...Mozilla Firefox Add-ons are zip
files with extension "xpi"."

You're ripping off the internets! :p

> ps. its all about CPIO...

But cpio has nothing on pax...
