If my memory doesn't fail me, basically the zip-standard only supports
ASCII, meanwhile winzip walks around this, because thats what the user
want, so they did an own addition to the standard.

A quick note maybe is, which format is the string sent to the
zip-functions? I mean, does the zipfile classes handle wide
(unicode/utf-8) strings and so on, these can't be used in the
zip-file.. yet..?
