I had a good base to start from, thank you. 8-)

Any help anywhere is appreciated.  Pick whatever you'd like to work on
and let us know so we don't duplicate effort.

For documentation I envision a package.html describing the differences
between the package and java.util.zip (which is more than just
encoding) and a special section on the various options for encoding
and their consequences.  Given your experience and your interop tests
you would probably be the better man to write that encoding section.

True.  But I don't expect it to be too hard when we share the parser
code with ZipFile.  It won't work properly for all cases, but it will
be better than java.util.zip.

Absolutely.  To me Ant will create a different problem because we'll
end up changing the ZipExtraField interface in compress and I can't do
that for backwards compatibility reasons inside Ant - but this will be
solved as well.
