D - std.zip

ive written a game engine (in D of course) that loads its files from zip files
just like quake3 does. Before this i researched what my options were for zip
files, and i found out that phobos already has zlib bindings. I looked into this
but i could not find the unz* functions that come with zlib such as unzOpen. so
i compiled my own D import lib for the zlib library.

Am i missing something, or is std.zip just insufficient?

If some functionality is missing from std.zip, I would assume that 
Walter would welcome a submission that adds it.

I don't know if this example will tell you anything that you don't 
already know, but you might examine: 
D/20379

I'd *VERY* much welcome the ability to add WinZip-compatible password
protection. If anyone was to do that, I'd be grateful for ages and ages;
well a couple of days anyway. ;)
