[lokisetup] [PATCH]<<3 suffix and productdir attributes, zip fixes, ui changes

[Stephane Peter]

OK, I just committed most of these patches, to the exception of the  
binary inline script patches.
The reason I haven't merged them yet is that I want to make some slight  
changes to them, especially I'd like to change the name of the tmpdir()  
function that you added. It may conflict with some other libraries...
