I feel that it smell a bit too much like a tool and too little like an general
programming api.

- It can only add disk files. The ability to write data to a zip entry through 
  a file-like object or from a string would make it more like an API, IMHO
-  Some kind of access to the TOC entry fields (date, size, compressed
  size etc) also seems like a nice feature.
- The data for an entry must be available in memory. Could be a problem 
  for huge files, but most like not in practical use.

I admit that I am fond of the api from java.util.zip.ZipFile and
java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream.
