See my note about ZIPs lack of documentation for symbolic links. A lot
of this seems to be trial and error on my part as the implementation
isn't documented. This seems to do the trick, however, and all of the
tests are now passing on my end.
As always, send more problems my way.
Adds support for ZIP files that include files that are symbolic links.
See the note in SSZipArchive.m for more information about that.
Includes a test that will probably only pass if you have GitHub for Mac
installed because that's the program I used as a test to symlink
against.
I created the symbolic link with 'ln -s /Applications/GitHub.app
SymbolicLink/GitHub.app' so I'm not entirely sure how it'll behave for
hard links, but I can't test that right now.
* Add ARC support
* Fixes: One of the bugs is that the file modification dates for files being unzipped were wrong. Apparently the code was taking the MS-DOS date and time and treating it as an NSTimeInterval since Jan 1, 1980. This is not correct and was resulting in modification dates for me in 2014. — Brant Sears
* Fixes: The second bug was that the file modification dates for folders were showing up as the current date/time, but when I unzip the same archive using Apple's implementation of zip, the file modification dates for those folders were set sometime in the past. — Brant Sears

Basic zip files can be created (or appended to) by supplying the
path to a zip file and either paths to existing files or NSData
objects along with filenames.
