Create zip files with sketchup ruby api

[patriarch]

Is it possible to create zip file with SketchUp Ruby API?
For example to make a SketchUp-LayOut bridge. The idea is to create a XML-file with the necessary dimensions and notes in sketchup. Then pack it in a zip file. Later you can open this file in LayOut and make changes in it or print the drawings.

There is a separate mainstream Ruby 'zip' method... you need to find that and path it into your own Ruby - [re]distributing it with any install...
