As with #58 I'll update the readme with documentation on creating the add-in from the unpacked state. I think that this should just go into the releases as well as people may just want to download it and be done with it.

The utility to unpack/pack the XML into a workbook needs to be completed and added to the code base as well. May be a while for that though, just one thing to note the add-in used to make the ribbon menu seemed to use the same approach for packing/unpacking the XML i.e. change file extension, extract zip, edit files...

Certainly. This will make it painless for most users. I just thought it would be friendly to let people know how to build it from source if they are looking closer at the source code. Just a simple note to let them know to put the contents of the folder into a zip and rename it.

All in time. For now zipping and unzipping won't be too bad.

Seems to be the way that most programs go about modifying the spreadsheet file. If a library is used, the library is probably doing that itself.
