> The current API is a little awkward when dealing with symlinks (e.g., those created using Info-Zip's "zip -y").
> I propose the following three methods for ZipArchiveEntry:
> {noformat}
> public boolean isUnixSymlink()
> public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf)
> public String getUnixSymlink(ZipFile zf, String pathCharset)
> {noformat}
