I have used Ant for business automation in the past. The document-production team needed to get the latest versions of all their files, run multiple transforms on each file, and then produce PDF, help files, and HTML. So I wrote an Ant file that had several targets, depending on which output they wanted. It had some convenience tasks, too. Some of those tasks involved creating zip files, so I am sure you can make unzipping work, too.
