Hi,

Does the OGR KML driver support reading and/or writing of KMZ files?

KMZ files are simply zipped KML files which allow smaller file sizes and 
bundling of multiple files in one package. I think that google earth 
uses the format by default.

Since GDAL already includes zlib, I would think that adding support for 
this would be pretty simple, if it's not there already. Anyone planning 
on doing this?

Cheers,

Simon
