The above solutions (binding to an existing C library or os.execute a
command-line utility) are good ones.
For completeness, I'll mention that this would also be possible in
pure Lua, though with much more work. The underlying DEFLATE
algorithm, used by zip/gzip has been implemented in [1], at least for
decompression. The compression half could also be written if one is
so inclined. bzip is not that much different.
