Created an attachment (id=1172)
The same files in zip archive

I agree with Walter that Bugzilla entries should have attachments in the most
common and user-friendly formats, like zip, unless the file is huge or there
are special situations. So a 7 kb archive does not justify the usage of a less
common archiver.

On the other hand 7z is an archiver better than zip, and progress in computer
science requires a little of extra work to phase out older technologies to
replace them with newer and better. So today installing a working and free
version of 7z should be considered expected by serious computer users.
