Summary: import zipped usfm files

Initial Comment:
However a practical thing I would see handy (besides using the TecKit) is that 
Bibledit can directly import from PT6 / PT7 zipped files containing the books.
 
I hope it is a minor issue to avoid the unpacking by the user (at least in Java 
it would be) but it makes the thing much more handy for the people here that 
they can do in Paratext a Backup. Most people have problems doing Backups in 
PT6 because of it's idiosynchrasies.
 
If they have managed to put a zip file on a pendrive it would be handy that the 
 Linux computer with Bibledit can directly import it.
 
This is just a first thought and has to be worked out more thouroughly.
But it means that we have to look for compatibility/data exchange on this level.
 
An area where BE could excel as well is the area of archiving these ZIP files. 
But I have to think more about this. Fact is that we here in Tamale do not have 
an archive of scripture texts at all (OK, we have CD's in a chest of drawers, 
but the whole thing is rather unsystematic. However better than nothing at all)
 
As BE started out for Biblerevision work (Ndebele) I could be that this would 
continue to be a focus. For example the Konkomba Bible is sold out (10000 
copies) and is beeing revised.
