It really shouldn't, but "make test" seems very unhappy if the machine 
doesn't have it, and I don't see anything that disables the tests for that 
case..

I seem to remember that I patched it already.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/46854/focus=46899

Unfortunately, the patch was incorrect, and I forgot to do it properly. 
Will try this afternoon.

Sorry,

unzip -v on (at least) Ubuntu prints a screenful of version info
to stdout.  Get rid of it since we only want to know if unzip is
installed or not.
