I wrote a tool to download and manage Zig versions ... in zig.

It uses the [JSON](https://ziglang.org/download/index.json) metadata available for zig downloads. It has one third party dependency on [minisign](https://github.com/jedisct1/zig-minisign). JSON parsing, HTTPS client, and tar/compression were all available in the standard library.
