For sure: after I updated cygwin the other day to test the large file fix, I 
picked up unzip version 6.0-11.  So it is what I am now using via cygwin.


I then reran my complete test suite.  Everything now works except the part of 
the test where cygwin unzip is to extract a zip file produced by Java.  This 
particular zip file has entries whose path names are non-ASCII chars.  I have 
manually verified that this zip file is perfectly extractable by 7zip and 
WinZip, so Java does not seem to be the problem.


I would gladly attach the zip file to this email, but this mailing list does 
not seem to like attachments.

So, I am trying a free file upload service.  My archive, test.zip, should be 
downloadable from here:
    http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=35559436477780253693

Read the File description in the URL above too.

I am looking forward to what you find.

I have never done any configuration after installing cygwin.  In particular, I 
have never mucked with any locale settings.  So whatever the default install 
gives is what I have.  (Unless cygwin draws on what my Windows locale settings 
are?)

I had to look up what locale settings cygwin even offers.  This seems to be a 
good link:
    https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html

One claim in that link is that cygwin only cares about these 3 env vars: 
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG.  Here is what they are on my system:
    $ echo "LC_ALL = $LC_ALL"
    LC_ALL =

    $ echo "LC_CTYPE = $LC_CTYPE"
    LC_CTYPE =

    $ echo "LANG = $LANG"
    LANG = en_US.UTF-8

Andrey, is this what you are looking for, or do you need something else?
