suggestion: use Boost Iostreams (can handle gzip, check for windows .zip or lzh
support)

for .zip support (PKZip/windows) a wrapper is needed, example:

Compression of 720Kb MSX diskimages in the age of bigdata and TB's is not
really worth the trouble. I choose to invest our time in other issues.

Fair enough, it's your time.
Note that the reason was not to save space, but to be able to handle existing
compressed disk images, of which tons exist (e.g. from internet archives or
cd-roms). This currently means that those compressed disk images need to be
unzipped all the time before they can be used with the host app, which is quite
uncomfy.

Although it is not strictly blocked by issue 15, it should be implemented
afterwards, because of the design changes needed by issue 15.
