Unzip files with node.js on Windows

What options are there to handle unzipping .zip files from within a Node.js script on Windows (XP)?

I'm working with the latest (at present) node.js v0.5.8 Windows node.exe.

Suggestions welcome.

-P.

I've found this zip library. It's very easy to install and use:

npm install zip
/* Only js dependencies, no local building needed */

from test.js

var z = require("zip");
var FS = require("fs");
var data = FS.readFileSync("test.zip")
var reader = z.Reader(data);
console.log(reader.toObject('utf-8'));

Provides also ways to iterate through the zip entries and getting data through Buffers.

Node provides support for the ZLIB library which should allow you to decompress a zip file using gzip: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.5.8/api/zlib.html
