#2 TorrentZip changes all Zip files to mode 0400 on unix system

When when a zip file has permision 0644 on a unix
system, torrent zip resets the permisions to 0400.

The attached patch fixes this problem, by using a
different permissions bit (sticky bit) to flag a file
as to if it has been updated or not.

This problem was reported when v0.2 was released, but
I haven't seen a fix commited to CVS.

The wrong fix was commited as it still fails to account for
unix file permisions. This change resets the file's
permissions to 0600. statmat said he was working on
tidying it up further for the v0.3 release.

P.S. when will there be a v0.3 release.
