Ok, because (1) "unzip" is not a very portable program due to nasty
build environment and (2) we currently need unzip support only for less
than a dozend packages in OpenPKG, I've decided to disable "unzip"
support in RPM for now. Starting with openpkg-20030911-20030911 and
higher, RPM no longer knows anything about .zip files internally.
