Wow great. That means that by switching to pax we solved the Windows
problem for the time being. I'll note though that we're still planning
to do a Windows zip file. There's a patch to export I sent yesterday
that should help make it possible for us to generate that source package
on *nix platforms easily.
I wonder if the problem with the cpio generated one and WinZip wasn't
the date issue. Or maybe you have a newer version of WinZip.

We have a path as long as 108 chars:
$ find subversion-1.0.1 | perl -ne 'if (length($_) > 100) { chomp $_;
print length($_),$/,$_,$/; }'
