Patch for zip to deal with dos paths

Hi all,
For what it's worth. Here's a patch to zip that fixes the behaviour with
regard to dos path names. It deals with two issues:
- backslashes are converted to slashes,
- drive names are stripped when converting an absolute to relative path.
The behaviour of cygwin zip with this patch is the same as the native win32
version. In fact, the code added to unix/unix.c essentially comes from
win32/win32zip.c (slightly simplified).
Of course, this breaks the feature of using NTFS streams with a single
character file name. ;-)
Take it or leave it,
- Michael
