Summary: Zipfile fix create_system information

Initial Comment:
this patches corrects the create_system value for
created zipfiles with the zipfile module, which is
platform dependent (better: filesystem dependent). 
It fixes the following bug: if a zipfile is created
with Python on Unix and the files have executable flags
the file rights are correctly saved into the zipfile.
But when extracting the file with unzip (from Info-zip)
the filerights (executable flags) are not reassigned
correctly. This is due to the wrong create_system flag.

The patch is not the 100% correct way to do it, but it
is better as the situation now (completly ignore the
system and always set create_system to 0).

The right way to fix this would be to set the
create_system flag dependent on the platform and the
filesystem but I do not know how to do this.
