When I use 'zip' command-line tool on my Ubuntu 10.04 to pack a directory in zip-archive, it internally assigns '0x41ed0010' attributes for it.

0x41ed0010 = 0x41ed << 0xfff + 0x0010

Where:
  0x41ed - unix attributes (40755)
  0x0010 - means # MS-DOS directory flag

At the same time zipfile.py doesn't provide MS-DOS directory flag.
It seems be a good idea to do it.
Patch suggested over 3.3.3 code-base.

Looks good. But writestr() should be updated too. Some users use it to add a directory to ZIP file. Here is a patch with tests. It also changes attributes of regular file added by writestr().

Could shutil experts please comment this patch?
