Ok, camlpdf is patched for *zip* not for *unzip*, which is not available in a 
seperate package.

So what we have at first glance here is a module name clash: both extlib and 
camlpdf provide an interface for a module named Zip. It is not clear to me 
whether both modules provide the same functionalities (did not look at the 
code), but it is highly probable.

I don't know what to do about this. Compiling camlpdf against the whole extlib 
does not seem a correct thing to do. Also there is no standalone unzip module 
available...
