Nah, no good. If somebody modifies the archive comments, this will
change the zip archive as a whole, and therefore its message digest.
What we need is a MD on each file in the archive, a list of the files,
and an MD of that list. And all this - issued by some of the
developpers of PGP.

The best solution would be, if Phil Zimmerman signs the above MDs with
his PGP 2.0 private key and re-publishes his PGP 2.0 public key,
signed with his PGP 1.0 private key.

Regards,
Vesselin
