Hi,

I haven't seen a streaming C# implementation for 7z files (would be nice to have though), but here is some code in python that does it from Dmitry Chickov:

7z support added to xmlreader:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2010-April/006169.html

interfacing to the pages-meta-history file for dump analysis:
http://code.google.com/p/wrdese/source/browse/trunk/b/verify-wiki-dump-print-empty.py

"Somewhat cleaned up version of the MediaWiki Dump Analysis code from the wredese project"
http://code.google.com/p/pymwdat/

cheers,
Jamie
