This is not 100% true.  There is also an additional "comment field"  
method of storing UTF-8 data, as defined by Info-ZIP.  So that would  
need to be implemented as well.

As mentioned in a previous ticket... I would really like to see us get  
out of the compression library business.  I would much rather use an  
existing library that handles all these details for us.  ZipArchive  
would be perfect... except the pecl module seems to be broken (at  
least it doesn't work for me on PHP 5.4, either stable or beta  
version).  And requiring built-in zip support to PHP seems to be too  
invasive/too big of a step back from the present situation.
