Title:
  Switch from commandline zip/unzip to PHP ZipArchive class

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed
Status in Mahara 15.10 series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We get a steady stream of support requests from people on shared
  hosting or Windows, who can't find their command-line zip & unzip
  utilities.

  There's really no reason for us to be using those anymore, though. PHP
  5.3 ships with a fully functional zip library, and we should use that
  instead: http://nz1.php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php
