I played around with compiling 7zip on Haiku this weekend and it works
using the BeOS makefile. This morning I looked at the source code for
expander to see if I could figure out how to add .7z format to it.
Seems it might be as easy as adding one line of code? I haven't
looked to see if/how it could be added into zip-o-matic.

I don't know if this is something everyone would like to have added to
haiku or not, but I'll update the HaikuPorts status page for it as I
investigate further. It looks like of the binaries that are created
that we would only need 7za to be copied into /boot/beos/bin, or 7zr
which only handles the new compression methods.
My questions here are, show we add 7z to Haiku or just keep it
something that can be added later, and is it possible to select which
compression tool(s) to use with zip-o-matic?
If it is rolled in then it would need a 7z icon, if anyone is up to
making/modifying one for it ;)
