I made such a file system using ZIP files for a project that I'm no
longer working on. It was meant to be a Lua game framework using SDL.
The ZIP file was wrapped by SDL_Rwops streams and I used lua_load to
read from them.

Changing it to read from ZIP files located at the end of executables and
dropping the SDL_Rwops wrapper is easy...
