Content 
The zipfile format (as described by .zip file format specification) allows for storing extra unix data, such as symlinks and device nodes in zipfile.

Storing at least symlinks would be useful, and is supported by the infozip tools as well (the command-line zip and unzip commands on Linux systems).

An implementation would use the "UNIX Extra Field (0x000d)" to store this information.
