Compress, uncompress and verify ZooImage Data files.

`zidir`	a directory containing data to put in a .zid files.
`type`	the ZI file format, currently 'ZI1', 'ZI2', 'ZI3', 'ZI4', or 'ZI5' types are supported (ZooImage1-5).
`check`	do we check the files in this directory before/after compression?
`check.vignettes`	do we check if the future .zid file contains all vignettes?
`replace`	do we replace existing files?
`delete.source`	do we delete source files after compression?
`path`	(un)compress or verify all subdirectories (except those starting with '\_') in respective .zid files. Also, a place where to put uncompressed files (in the 'sample' subdirectory).
`samples`	a list of 'samples', i.e., subdirectories to process.
`zidfile`	a .zid file to uncompress or read from.
`zidfiles`	a series of .zid files to uncompress.
`path.extract`	a place where to extract data from .zid files.
`skip.existing.dirs`	do not unzip if the subdir already exists.
