Summary: Scalable zipfile extension

Initial Comment:
Playing around with large zipfiles (> 10000 files),
I've encountered big loading time, even if after having
loaded it I use only 30 files in it.
So I've introduced a differed parameter to the
Zipfile.__init__ in order to load headers on-demand.
As it's not a really good idea to activated it for all
zip it defaults to False.
I've updated the documentation too.

Thx and keep the good work ;)

P.S. : Dunno if it can be added to 2.3 or have to be
included in 2.4, so I've choosed 2.4 group.
