The default for 7-Zip is to make a "solid archive"-The concept that is pretty natural to Unix-like OSes (similar to making a tar of files and compressing it). It allows for _much_ better compression than a non-solid archive. A non-solid archive just compresses each file individually and wraps them up into a single file (like what Zip does).

7zip gives me a lot of problems when I want to extract archives of any appreciable size; it's impossible to extract a single file(with any client I've tested) without parsing through the entire archive, which can immensely increase the amount of time to access even a trivially small file.

I could add diferent compression formats, like tgz, zip, bz2 to the installer.
