Scratch that, I must have looked at the wrong trace output. This produces a 
file with a Zip64 extra field, but without the Data Descriptor following the 
File data. 

At any rate, the motivation for this change is not mainly to support any 
existing zip producer, but to implement the specification and to allow tests to 
create small, parseable Zip64 files with 8-byte data descriptors.
