Public bug reported:

Mahara currently requires access to an external zip & unzip binary, for
certain functionality. This is a perrenial cause of problems for people
running Mahara on non-standard platforms, like Windows or shared
hosting.

There's no need for this. Modern PHP implementations come with unzip and
zip methods build in, which work perfectly well.
