[archive] Allow archives in any directory 
Current code will create an archive in the current directory with:

    % archive ../test.tar.gz test.*

or will complain that the following archive doesn't exist in the current
directory (given it actually exists in the parent one):

    % unarchive ../test.tar.gz

Fix that and allow archives in any directory.

Other changes:

* Use `<required_param>` instead of `[required_param]` in the usage text
* Don't explictly check if archive exists in `unarchive`, but let the
  respective tool fail with its own message

Installation

Installing Zim is easy. If you have a different shell framework installed (like oh-my-zsh or prezto), uninstall those first to prevent conflicts. It can be installed manually by following the instructions below:

  1. In a Zsh shell, clone the repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw.git ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
  1. Paste this into your terminal to prepend the initialization templates to your configs:
for template_file in ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim/templates/*; do
  user_file="${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.${template_file:t}"
  cat ${template_file} ${user_file}(.N) >! ${user_file}
done
  1. Set Zsh as the default shell:
chsh -s =zsh
  1. Open a new terminal and finish optimization (this is only needed once, hereafter it will happen upon desktop/tty login):
source ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zlogin
  1. You're done! Enjoy your Zsh IMproved! Take some time to read about the available modules and tweak your .zshrc file.

Updating

To update zim, run:

zmanage update

For more information about the zmanage tool, run zmanage help.

Uninstalling

The best way to remove zim is to manually delete ~/.zim, ~/.zimrc, and remove the initialization lines from your ~/.zshrc.

However, there are some experimental convenience functions to remove zim:

NOTE: This functionality is experimental!
