Efficient way to prepare zipfiles for BitTorrent

TorrentZip creates byte-for-byte exact zip files on any machine. This allows people to join a torrent after they have converted their zip files with a particular set of files, thus preventing them from having to download the entire set of files again. Because of the way TorrentZip creates identical zips, the file hashes will always match those in the original torrent.
