Bug 11831 – std.zip no longer allows setting madeVersion field in zip file

std.zip needs to allow access to all fields in zip file's data structures. The data structures written to disk should not have inaccessible private fields. This regression blocks compilation of the chmodzip tool, which needs to be able to set madeVersion because Linux unzippers look for specific version numbers there. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/61

Currently blocking: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/97

The > data structures written to disk should not have inaccessible private fields. The fact that std.zip is barely unusable and that most of it's members are undocumented should tell you a different story. madeVersion was explicitly documented as read only field btw. http://dlang.org/phobos/std_zip.html#.ArchiveMember.madeVersion > This regression blocks compilation of the chmodzip tool, which needs to be able > to set madeVersion because Linux unzippers look for specific version numbers > there. The set version number (20) works fine, it's 0x0300 in the upper byte which needs to be set for Unix format file attribute. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/e37d30fb10b94f8a3ac9013d92c7be661e52eb6b/std/zip.d#L136
