[Opensim-dev] Ionic.Zip.dll

[Justin Clark-Casey]

No objections here.  It is a pity that DotNetZip appears currently unmaintained and I'm not fond of having special 
patches but it's not as if these compression formats are evolving and it doesn't sound like a major patch.

One thing to watch out for is that this library is strongly-named.  So substituting our own compiled version will 
disrupt any third-party DLL that is relying on this strong name (I don't think our DLLs have this active).  Any 
third-party DLL will either have to recompile against the new Ionic.zip.dll or make sure it doesn't rely on the strong name.

Another small point is to make sure the library is set chmod u+xr in git.  This allows it to work on cygwin out of the 
box (windows itself and mono don't care about this afaik).

As Nebadon says, if you could make sure we can trace the new DLL back to a specific version of Ionic + patches in 
opensim-libs then that would be great.
