Comment:

 Expected:  An OLPC provided Bundle activity should be the primary handler
 for compressed filetypes.  It should provide a visual interface for
 observing the contents and for moving all or part of these contents to the
 Journal or clipboard.

 Here is a stub on the wiki: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Bundle_activity

 Marco, can you estimate how much work this would be?  I imagine, at least
 for zip files only (to start), this shouldn't be that difficult.  Python
 already provides a module for this.
