I'd like to make a modification to ZipMax to make it work with compressors that don't support long filenames.

Essentially, when ZipMax unzips the original archive, I want to make it rename the files with sequential numbers as filenames ("0", "1", "2", etc..) as they are being unzipped. Assuming a maximum 8 character filename, this gives a possible 100,000,000 filenames.

Then the files (with modified filenames) are run through all the external compressors and the best compressed files are chosen and multiplexed together into a new zip using the original filenames.

Before I embark down this road, is there anything that I am overlooking?
