Tomeu, I think we're doing okay with the zipping. It turns out, the problem had to do with the UTF-8 vs UTF-16 file name encoding we passed to the zip library function. After lots of debugging we discovered that error and since then everything has been moving along! We're now playing with extraction and changing the icon used for packed/unpacked bundles.
