Comment #3 on issue 20134 by [email protected]: crx files don't open in  
many zip programs
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20134

I know WinZip should handle self-extractors, but do Compressed Folders and  
the OSX
Built-in system?

My guess is that 7-zip and InfoZip (the Linux port of which is found in  
Cygwin) just
skip any "garbage" they find at the beginning of the file. (Potentially  
slow, but
will find any zips) while WinZip tries to be efficient about it and assumes  
it's not
a zip file if the magic number is neither Zip nor PE executable.
