It would require re-specifying ZOS.setMethod to set the default 
compression method for non-directory entries and re-specifying 
ZOS.putNextEntry to use the STORED method as the default for directory 
entries. Even so, this wouldn't ensure that directory entries have 0 
size. Given that ZOS dates from JDK 1.1 then I think we have to cautious 
about changing.
