I have encountered an inconsistency between cygwin's zip and unzip programs
that I think reflects a bug (or incomplete implementation) in unzip.
First, I am using the very latest release of cygwin 64 bit:

It seems that cygwin's zip can archive files whose name includes non-ascii
(unicode) chars just fine, but if you try to archive a directory whose name
includes such chars, it fails.

Nuts, the non-ascii unicode file names that I was using displayed fine when I
looked at them in my email program (even in plain text mode), but I see on the
mailing list web page (https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg1.html) that
they display garbled there.

Fair enough. I don't think I've encountered any scripts that modify the
