The zip file system provider serves two purposes, one is as a 
demo/sample provider (that is why it has the BSD license), the other as 
a file system provider that works "out of the box". The HPROF agent is 
another case where it is included as JVM TI demo/sample code, and also 
pre-compiled so that it works out of the box. I've heard suggestions in 
the past that demo/sample code should not be in the jdk repository but 
it will be awkward for these cases like this.
