Packaging the files directly into the zip archive removes an 
unnecessary nested unpacking operation of the BACKUP saveset,
...and also allows search engines to index the zip archive contents,
...and allows folks on other platforms a way to access the zip archive 
contents without having to figure out how to unpack a saveset.

This mental migration around zip is long overdue.  So too is the 
incorporation of zip and unzip onto the base OpenVMS distro.

I've occasionally wondered whether making "-V" the default on OpenVMS 
would be worth the hassles that'd cause, too.
