I figured he would go check out the bug report I linked to and see the work 
around in there. I was in a bit of a hurry when I replied to that one.

Also if anyone is using windows instead of linux use Info-Zip 
(http://www.info-zip.org/). I couldn't find any windows gui based zip 
utilities that supported rearranging zip file structure. Info-Zip is the 
same commandline program that comes in most major linux distro's. So the 
above commandline instructions will work the same on windows as it does on 
linux.
