I was wondering if it might be possible to have zip 2.3 re-compiled
with encryption and re-released.  Chuck Wilson stated in
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00005.html
and
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2002-05/msg00018.html
that it can be done but that first Red Hat needs to inform the U.S.
government that binaries with encryption will be exported.  I know
that there are other ways to get encrypted zip files but it would
be convenient if the official Cygwin zip would be encryption-enabled.

Thanks for all the good work.
