 I'm not convinced that zip files can solve the yacc issue. But even if
 so, it would already be possible with ar files, thus we wouldn't need
 zip support.
 
 I tried to understand how other programs would then work with the files
 inside the archive, but I didn't manage to understand it. Only very few
 programs are able to look inside ar files or zip files.
 
 In summary, I don't see any reason to support zip files in make.
