Hmm...

In 6.0d, I see some code about wide-char support and Unicode (UTF-8)
experimental support, so I guess someone is trying to get something
in.

Quoting suspicious lines from ./History.600:

 - zipinfo.c: added support for "UTF-8 path" extra field display to zi_long().

 - unzip.h: enable H_flag and U_flag for UNIX, VMS, WIN32 (those systems that
    are currently supposed to support UTF8 names); unzip.h must not depend on
    internal configuration settings like UNICODE_SUPPORT.  [Chr. Spieler]
