I want to unzip without worrying about what parameters to use. Remember
that if I'm unzipping these system files then all hell has already
broken loose and I don't want the files ending up where they don't
belong.

An unzip -l shows that there's no leading "\". I would prefer one. I
don't recall if PKZIP can put one in there; I'll have to test.
