I don't foresee that happening, for several reasons:

1) It isn't supported in the compression library we're using.

2) It's considered proprietary by PKWare (and is not documented).

3) It only provides a trivial improvement in compression. I don't see any
other advantage to the format (and it has pretty much disappeared from the
archiving scene).
