It seems that if a zipfile includes both foo.exe and foo/, unzipping
the zipfile fails like this:
inflating: /cygdrive/c/yobuild/src/gtest/msvc/gtest/Debug/gtest_prod_test.exe
checkdir error:
/cygdrive/c/yobuild/src/gtest/msvc/gtest/Debug/gtest_prod_test exists
but is not directory
unable to process
yobuild/src/gtest/msvc/gtest/Debug/gtest_prod_test/.
unzip then exits with nonzero status.
Is that confusion expected? It kind of looks like unzip needs to be
aware of the leaky abstraction...

Yes, it is expected. There's lots of discussions about transparently
handling the .exe extension in the email archives and the ramifications
if you're interested in more details. It's exciting reading. ;-)
