You want something like this...

Now that I have a somewhat better understanding of how libgsf
works, here's a suggestion for a patch (attached).  It adds the
ability to read the timestamp from files inside a zip archive, and
to set the time stamp on files created via stdio.  So you can
emulate 'unzip' by doing something like:

gint mtime;

/* 'input' is a GsfInput from zip */
g_object_get(G_OBJECT(input), "modification-time", &mtime, NULL);

...

/* 'out' is obtained via gsf_outfile_stdio_new */
output = gsf_outfile_new_child_full(out, name, is_dir,
                                    "modification-time", mtime,
                                    NULL);

The use of gint for mtime expires in 2038; if there's a better way
of handling time_t via g_object that would be good.
