7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio in its native
compression mode (LZMA). However, it supports a number of other
compression methods (zip, gzip, bzip2, etc). 7-Zip was originally
developed as a Windows GUI application: p7zip is a cross-platform
(mostly unix) port, supporting linux, solaris, MacOSX, and...cygwin.
One fly in the ointment is the default build includes RAR support, whose
source code is released only under a non-OSI license. I followed
debian's procedure, and disabled all RAR support in this build --
otherwise, it would conflict with Cygwin's license.
