When zip(unzip) went to 2.3(5.41), cygwin was built using the "NT"
system identifier, instead of the "unix" system identifier.  I (and many
others) don't like this behavior; it's my intention to go back and
rebuild these packages with appropriate patches so that cygwin builds
revert to the 2.2(5.32) behavior, in which cygwin used the "unix" system
identifier.

I just haven't gotten around to it.

It's on my list.  Honest.
