Since when does the file have to be created by BitPim.  *ANY* file in
the zip format should work.

The file selection box only filters on extension.  It does not look
inside the file to check it matches the format as well.

The dialog defaults to showing files with an extension of zip.  The user
has to manually select All Files to see other files.
