Do you really think that every cygwin package compiles out-of-box with

Not every package, but I would have thought that zip could be written in 
code that would work on any unix system, and that the standard cygwin 
installation would provide adequate unix emulation.  I built zip from 
source on a unix system a few years ago, and didn't notice anything 
complicated. Thanks for the explanation.
