Summary: zipfile should have a tarfile-like API

Initial Comment:
zipfile.ZipFile() should have an interface similar to
tarfile.TarFile() for extracting files. At it's
simplest, this can
be written:

tf = tarfile.open(self.filename, 'r')
for member in tf.getmembers():
     tf.extract(member)

This does "all the right things". This is a much more
pleasant
interface to use than the ZipFile equivalent.

Assigning to self as a reminder to do this.
