if you can find a way to repack the file on windows and get android to run it please let us know.
This won't work for making MASSIVE changes to the system, but this will give you a write-able system on the phone. (replaces the .sqsh file with a ex2 system. Do note however that this takes about 4x the space though as .sqsh is a nicely compressed system. Mine now takes about 200mb) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581429
I also had to use RootExplorer to copy some things into the System\Lib folder. Astro wouldn't allow it. Didn't try with my EStrong one yet.
