Probably not, because there is a separate bzip2 binding, which is not merged into camlzip.

Combined binding library for different archive would infect system with multiple dependencies. Moreover, some archive types, like xz or rar are OS specific (they nearly are not present in other OSes).

There is an outdated binding for lzma. I can update it, if you really need that.
