Thanks. Most distros provide a Zip program, including OS X and Solaris:
$ command -v zip
/usr/bin/zip
I guess there's something else wrong with it?
Is it possible to relax the Autotools requirement:
running: AUTOPOINT=true LIBTOOLIZE=true autoreconf --verbose --install
--force -I m4 --no-recursive
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: true --force
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 --force -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}

Solaris provides:
