Well, I think they still work, but it is true they aren't really needed.
I wonder if there is ever any advantage in zipping up the files into a
"jar" file vs. just leaving them as regular files.  Maybe on certain
systems, like Windows, it is problematic to have a lot of files?  Of
course Conkeror doesn't even have that many files, compared to
e.g. Firefox, so it may not matter even then.
