Title: Libzip and zip files and files in the zip > 4gb
I have an application that generates quite large zip files, where the individual files stored in the zip are greater than 4gb. Are there any plans to support allow large files with libzip?
It looks to me, that the code internally manages offsets and file sizes as unsigned integers, capping things at 4gb.

I get the ‘Not a Zip File’ error when opening the files.

The files are created in java, using the ZipOutputStream classes, and can be unpacked using the java jar command.
Interestingly enough zipmerge works on these large files.

Thank you for the great tool.
