There is a zipgrep shell script in the unix subdirectory of unzip, so I 
guess there shouldn't be a problem adding that to \usr\bin just for the 
sake of completeness.

Are you saying that if I copy unzip.exe as zipinfo.exe, it will act as 
though I had run unzip -Z?

Maybe I should just create a zipinfo.cmd which simply a cmd file that runs 
'unzip -Z'...

Exactly.  Just tested to make sure ... ;-)

At least, that's more appealing to me than copying unzip.exe ...
