Title:
  unzip shows the wrong date for zip files created on windows

Status in unzip package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a zip file created by winzip. Later using winzip files were
  replaced.

  Both windows built-in zip viewer and winzip show the replaced files
  dates of the newly replaced file.

  On ubuntu precise the old date (of the original files) are shown.

  Using zipinfo -v I have listed the info in the zip file (only the info of 1 file shown here for clarity), see below.
  It appears that there are 3 file modification dates stored, of which windows uses the DOS Date/Time (as they would) and unzip uses the UT extra field time.

  However, on replacing the file winzip appearently has chosen to update
  only tyhe DOS Date/Time field.

  This may be a bug of winzip, it is however causing problems for Ubuntu
  users.

  The expected behavior would be:
  - if the file is created on DOS/Windows ( file system or operating system of origin:      MS-DOS, OS/2 or NT FAT)
  - use   file last modified on (DOS date/time).

  End-of-central-directory record:
  -------------------------------

    Zip archive file size:                     24810 (00000000000060EAh)
    Actual end-cent-dir record offset:         24788 (00000000000060D4h)
    Expected end-cent-dir record offset:       24788 (00000000000060D4h)
    (based on the length of the central directory and its expected offset)

    This zipfile constitutes the sole disk of a single-part archive; its
    central directory contains 5 entries.
    The central directory is 416 (00000000000001A0h) bytes long,
    and its (expected) offset in bytes from the beginning of the zipfile
    is 24372 (0000000000005F34h).

    The central-directory extra field contains:
    - A subfield with ID 0x5455 (universal time) and 5 data bytes.
      The local extra field has UTC/GMT modification/access times.
