For the record, the package is almost ready, but I thought it was a
bad idea to upload it right now because the new zip is able to create
zipfiles which the current unzip is still unable to unzip. Isn't that
a showstopper? [ Remember that unzip 6.0 is still beta ].

Which is to say: If I finally upload zip 3.0 soon, there would be an
implicit disclaimer: "If you create files which unzip can't unzip, do
it on your own, not my fault", or something alike.
