~~Make bin/zim pass file names as repository~~
Make zim match files

for tar.* call Zim::FS::Tar, no VCS
for gjots use Store::Gjots as top level

how to set dir ?
disable writing history / cache because multiple files share same dir

Add Zim::FS::Tar class

read only dir that calls the tar command
file objects subclass buffer and set to read-only as well

After constructign the Tar dir find the "notebook.zim" file to strip directory prefix and create subdir to use for store
Figure out how to do caching for these arhives

Obviously need to use cache from archive if possible
Copy to xdg-cache dir and use from there
If not available initialize cache from tar file list

page lookups should use the cache when possible

need --build-index switch to be able to compile index before pacakging a notebook

If all this works, package zim manual as tar.gz to save space

Do use external calls to gnu tar instead of usign e.g. Archive::Tar because tar is faster and does not read whole archive in memory.
