Can we move this topic forward by introducing a new prerequisite ZIPINFO and used at the beginning of these tests (make it a lazy prereq)? Run zipinfo on a trivial archive and see if its output is something we recognize to decide if the platform supports that ZIPINFO prerequisite and do this test only on them. After all, what _is_ being tested, i.e. our archive creation, would not change across platforms, so having a test that runs on a known subset of platforms is better than not having anything at all.
