BUG: 4681995 add support zipping/unzipping large files

[Dave Bristor]

Hi Rob,

We have bug 4681995 open (since 2002!) for this kind of thing.  If you're 
interested in contributing, could you please take a look at
     http://openjdk.java.net/contribute

I'd be happy to coordinate a fix with you.

Thanks,
	Dave
