As far as I can tell, yes. The patch applies cleanly against 2.2 with only a couple of offsets in links.h. The text says that the patch adds a "UTF-8 I/O" configuration option, and that's exactly what I see. I haven't actually tested it myself, but since it applied so cleanly and does what it's supposed to I have no reason to doubt that it works. I did consider adding something about the version, but I figured that people would realise it for themselves. Unzip 5.52, for instance, is still linking to unzip-5.50-alt-iconv-v1.1.patch. Personally I always update the version; I was considering loading the patch in to the patches project, it's only 20K uncompressed.
