Is there an add-in, macro, extension, or command to let me right-click on a project or solution in my VS2010 Solution Explorer and have it pack it all up into a zip file?

Something like ZipStudio, except I need it for 2010:

I just did a quick search in the Extension Manager online gallery (Tools -> Extension Manager) and came up with GBackupSolution. It looks like it sends it to a Gmail address as well, but maybe you could work around that? It's on CodeProject so I guess you could get the source and take out the gmail functionality as well...

Turns out that DPack, which I already had installed, does the trick. Heh.

Tools | DPack -> Solution Backup

By default it puts a zip file with the same name as the solution beside it in the solution folder. But this is tunable via Tools | Options -> DPack -> Solution Backup.
