	Streaming to a file is fine - and in fact good =) -but- I expect that 
if we have another thread that deflates this as we do the streaming out 
- then we could save quite a chunk of I/O I think and perhaps get the 
compression 'for free' (and deflate is far from free unfortunately).

	Of course, the idea of having ready deflated streams on disk to pack 
into the zip archive may not fit perfectly into whatever conceptual 
model but ... =)
