Description

There are some historical dependencies that made sense when they were put in, but are now obsolete and better methods exist.
Chiefly, I'm looking at SharpZipLib. Since GZip is a first class citizen in the CLR, this may as well be eliminated.

Obviously low-priority, but I'm feeling like doing housecleaning.
