Good point, however I decided to set sys.path[0] and sys.argv[0] a little differently, based on some more testing, as you can see explained in the new patch I just uploaded.

Those are details; I'll post to python-dev and see what people think of the general idea.  If it's accepted then we can figure out the details.  For now I made the function very specific to the -z flag.

I'm not sure I have a use case for invoking a zip file from another python module.  If we were to put that back in, it might be better to have 2 separate functions anyway, since this one is only 3 lines basically.
