I don't understand.  I have been creating zip files (with Zip 2.0.1)
for ages with mixed-case filenames.  For example:

	 zip foobar.zip src/libc/crt0/crt0.S

This stores `crt0.S' verbatim in the zip file; no strlwr.  So, to
create a zip with long names and correct letter-case, even on ye olde
DOS, create an .mft file with the right names, then submit it to zip:

	 zip fil316s.zip @manifest/fil316s.mft

(To make the creation of the manifest file easier, I generate it from
the listing of the .tar.gz file, then edit it a little to add
DJGPP-specific files and change illegal names such as Makefile.in.in.)

I didn't look in the sources, but the above works for me.  What do I
miss here?
