zip3.0 has a flag to do the similar thing may be a compelling reason to
add such a system property, but make disabled default turns yourself
into the dark side:-) have to explicitly turn the flag on will force the
people to think if this is something they really want to do.
Given it has been in the major releases for years, I don't think it's
possible to disable it in openjdk.

Hi Martin,
I would assume you are not asking for a similar flag for jar to disable the
zip64 support (or even something at API level) to generate "old" style

Actually, I think y'all should do 3 things:
- backport Kumar's bug fix to jdk7
- introduce a system property to turn off the zip64 support.
I am working on a patch to introduce such a system property.
We will probably default to disabling zip64 by default, but you will
probably find that unacceptable. But you can default the other way.
- fix up some remaining largefile issues in parse_manifest
I might contribute a bit of code here as well.
