The spec looks good.

In my head. But it shouldn't be too hard. We have the Horde_Compress
library that we already use to create ZIP files on the fly. We should
probably put the XPI contents under trean/lib/XPI or trean/templates/xpi
with the same layout like in the XPI file, for better maintainability.
