And, two weeks later, the zips are an endangered species :-)

With a configuration that enables practically everything that can be
built and all langs, I found 3445 .zip and 63 .oxt files in solver
before I started this work. On my latest branch, that drops the need for
zipping from gb_Configuration, this number is down to 80 .zip and 14
.oxt files. And the branch is based on ~3 days old master, so it does
not include the conversions made by Julien in the meantime (so the
actual number would be 15-20 .zips less). And all but 4 of the .oxts
come from external projects and we just copy them around.
