I had already considered the above but if I build zip/unzip as
recommended then there is nothing in the archive to indicate that a
file is a symlink except for the system attribute which is ambiguous.
Hence, unzip will not be able to determine when to call symlink.

I will looking into building zip/unzip as a UNIX version and then
see what else breaks...
