 * Compile this program and then attach a .zip file to the end of the
 *  compiled binary.
 *
 * On Linux, something like this will build the final binary:
 *   gcc -o selfextract.tmp selfextract.c -lphysfs && \
 *   cat selfextract.tmp myzipfile.zip >> selfextract && \
 *   chmod a+x selfextract && \
 *   rm -f selfextract.tmp
 *
 * This may not work on all platforms, and it probably only works with
 *  .zip files, since they are designed to be appended to another file.
