Bear in mind tar is a perfectly good extraction utility (that, in its
gnu form is probably quite capable of coping with zips), what the h***
are people doing assuming that zip is available on a *nix system!?

But the point is, it was all working fine a few days ago. Okay, there's
a distinct possibility it's my system (which is why I'm investigating)
because "emerge --update" updated perl for me ... , but I still stand by
my comment "what is zip doing on a nix system?"
