There's this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/becape/

It has some time that i don't update it but should work.

I have plans to overtake the limitations:

  - Improve UTF8 file names (it was written when Lazarus does not 
support Unicode)
  - Change from zlib to zip (use abbrevia)
  - create standalone components so can be  integrated in fpc programs
  - Improve the code architecture (separate GUI from logic etc)

I will do an exam Wednesday that is taking my time. I hope starting next 
week i can work in it (along other code related tasks like fixing VTV bugs)
