Dear colleagues,

I noticed that "my $unzip_options=" has been changed to '-Pxx30101xx'
in 1.25st (20050406). In 20050207 version it was set '-Pxx56002xx'.

Could you please share what it is used for?
It is a randomly generated "fake" password passed to unzip to ensure unzip reacts correctly when it comes across a password-protected zip file. It doesn't mean it'll be able to decrypt the zip file - it just ensures the exit status/etc. Each time you run ./configure, a new "-PXXXXXXXX" is produced.
