odfWeave: avoid zip.exe version 2.1 on Windows

Problem:
=======
After weaving with odfWeave the .odt file can not be opened with
OpenOfice.org 2.1 Writer. Writer instead launches the Filter Selection
but none of the formats offered works.

My system:
  R-2.4.0
  odfWeave 0.4.4 package from CRAN
  OpenOffice.org 2.1 full install
  odt-test files: the included .odt files from the odfWeave package
  Windows XP Professional


Analysis with Winzip shows that the .odt file is incomplete: the odt is
missing the directories
  Configurations2
  META-INF
  Thumbnails



Solution:
========
I had an older zip.exe on my system: Zip 2.1 (April 27th 1996) which
causes the troubles.

Zip 2.32 (June 19th 2006) works.

I downloaded the file zip232xN from http://www.info-zip.org/ (Poland
server)
