+MiniZip - Copyright (c) 1998-2010 - by Gilles Vollant - version 1.1 64 bits from Mathias Svensson

+Introduction
+---------------------
+MiniZip 1.1 is built from MiniZip 1.0 by Gilles Vollant ( http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html )

+support for unzip.c into minizip for a open source project called gdal ( http://www.gdal.org/ )
+
+That was used as a starting point. And after that ZIP64 support was added to zip.c
+some refactoring and code cleanup was also done.
+
