There's one remaining external call for "zip" done if the zip module is not found, but I am happy to remove it and throw an exception if it's not found, and keep the external "zip" call on Distutils side, so shutil stays 100% stdlib-powered.

+1 for that approach. These changes all sound like nice additions to shutil, and hooray for every module that gets adopted by an active maintainer :)

Cheers, Nick.
