Summary: zipfile: support for ZIP64

Initial Comment:
The attached patch implements support for ZIP64, that is zipfiles 
containing very large (>4GByte) files and zipfiles that are larger than
4GByte themselves. 

The output of this patch can be read by pkzip (see below for the actual 
version I used for testing).

Oops, I've uploaded the wrong file. zipfile-zip64.patch is the correct one.

I've tested the correctness of created archives using this version of pkzip:
