If unzip.exe(or an alternative external program) is necessary,
I want emacs not to load contents of archive files into archive-mode
buffer. It is waste of time and memory.
I never opened large ZIP archives of Giga Byte size.
But I would be glad to open such files with archive-mode
in a short time and with a small memory.
