Stepping back a bit, why do we even care if "unzip -a" works on
"../$zipfile" and converts things correctly in that check_zip() test
in t5003 in the first place?  It looks more like a test on "unzip"
than making sure we correctly generate a zip archive to me...

I think it is testing that we generated an archive with the correct "I
am text" flags so that an unzip implementation can do the
auto-conversion.

Yes, I understand that.  I was hoping for a response along the lines
of "we want to make sure we mark text as text, and 'zip -l' has an
option to let us check the attributes without having to actually
checking things out" ;-)
