-0.5 on having utf-8 encoding for filenames in zip archives on Windows.
It will be absolutely unusable to use with most windows zip archiver.
I see, you already submit this work, but it's not working for windows.
So my comments is late. But I personally prefer to don't have at all
unicode support for zip archives.
Zip archives should use OEM encoding for files because zip born in DOS
times. I could write simple decoder but it will works only on Windows.
