Does not work with winrt (Windows 8) #4

A new build should be done for WinRT.

A problem has been reported by a user running this on Win8
"Cannot find type System.ApplicationException"
and digging inside a most serious problem was found: Aparently because SharpZip 
lib depends on a class SymmetricAlgorithm that's not available (at least not in 
the same way?) in WinRT. SharpZipLib should be recompiled for WinRT, and things 
do not seem simple

On the bright side, .Net 4.5 seems to have a better implementation of 
Deflate/Inflate (the previous was terrible), perhaps we can build against it 
and not need SharpZipLib anymore.

Some links, perhaps relevant:

Almost done, with the new version 1.1.4 that does not use SharpZip . Next step 
(soon), migrate to the new "portable class library" project type

To build and distribute this as a "portable class library" would be indeed 
nice. What's not nice is that VS2012 Express does not support portable class 
libraries, for that you must buy VS2012 Professional. Well, I won't.
