Thanks, it seems to fix incompatibility with native Infozip; still I
see that for some other archives (probably created with WinZip)
filename corruption persists (although corruption is different in
different modes); inside the archives filenames are stored in OEM
(cp866) encoding. Native Infozip unpacks these archives correctly.

Actually I'm going to use only cygwin version myself; my concern is
being able to correctly unzip archives made by other people.
