Hi Stefan,

  Thanks for your tremendous work on finishing ZIP encoding support ;-)

May I help you at this point ?

Well, ZipArchiveINputStream rermains a problematic issue. WinZip
interoperability may not be achieved using the local file header (see
SANDBOX-292), however java.util's implementation has no encoding format and no
EFS interpretation, which is a large improvment on its own.

Well I think we should tackle this one for ZipFile. Since ZipFile has a random
access file at it's hands, interpretation of central directory information is a
clear advantage of ZipFile in favour of ZipInputStream.

I'd do this by default, because IMHO we should have a 'smart' unzipper in
commons-compress ;-)

If you need help for further work on the above mentioned issues, please write 
me.

     Wolfgang
