They already are, I think.
No they aren't. The zip format neither specifies an encoding to use nor does
it offer a field that identifies the encoding. Thus unzip in its original
form can't handle different encodings and you also can't specify the
encoding. And as stated, upstream has rejected all patches up till now,
stating that utf8 should be used. Right, as if any Win* user would be able
to do so.
To remedy the situation a bit I've accepted a patch to openSUSE's unzip that
will decode russian and czech encodings. As librcc is extensible, maybe it
could be extended to also handle hungarian file names sokmetime in the
future.
