consider updating it in rawhide.

Notable changes from website:

* multi-part archive support
* bzip2 compression support
* Unicode (UTF-8) filename and (partial) comment support
* difference mode (for incremental backups)
* filesystem-synch mode
* cross-archive copy mode
* extended progress info and logging
* improved archive-fixing support
* improved streaming and piping
* improved command-line parser

Any chance to include Zip 3.0 before Fedora 10 release?
