Description
As I can see the goal of zipstream is to provide support for an incremental approach to unzipping files.
But standard zipfile has this support since python 2.6. ZipFile?.open() method returns file-like object which supports 'read' method with buffer size in parameters.
Implementation in zipfile is better than in zipstream. At least it works a lot faster because it don't have 'self.buffer = self.buffer[n:]' code which kills performance on big (even tens of Kb's) buffer sizes like zipstream version does.
I think is better to deprecate zipstream and copy implementation from new zipfile. Or make zipstream a backported zipfile wrapper.

| Summary: | deprecate or improve zipstream → use python 2.6's streaming zipfile support instead of our own zipstream module |
I agree, it would be good to use the improved implementation on python 2.6 (and using a direct backport is better, because then we only have one bit of code to maintain).

Please note that ZipPath.open is the main use-case for this code. Really, the whole module should have been an implementation detail of ZipPath in the first place.

Modified zippath module to use the standard zipfile module if version is >= 2.6. Older versions will still use zipstream.

I didn't write any new tests because the existing tests already cover the code that was modified. I've attached a new patch with a news file.

Looks great, merging (with previous caveat).
