 I'm running 9-current and I think that it's new with version 9,
 and based on the libarchive that is the new back-end for the
 system tar and what-not.
 
 Sort of anti-cruft. :-)
 
 If the command line args used by the ooo build are meaningful,
 then I think that this could represent a bug (or misfeature) in
 the new unzip, rather than in the ooo port.  I couldn't say:
 the system's unzip complaint seemed reasonable on first read
 of the man pages.  Anyway, that's why I filed the PR against
 bin, rather than ports...  We probably need to get the author
 involved, as a domain expert. (attached as CC addresses.)
