Public bug reported:

We get a steady stream of support requests from people on shared hosting
or Windows, who can't find their command-line zip & unzip utilities.

There's really no reason for us to be using those anymore, though. PHP
5.3 ships with a fully functional zip library, and we should use that
instead: http://nz1.php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php

** Affects: mahara
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Confirmed
