I'm lazy.. so answer if you are free to.
What's this windows extractor stub anyway? why is it needed?
I just looked up "man zip"
-A Adjust self-extracting executable archive. A self-extracting
executable archive is created by prepending the SFX stub to an
existing archive. The -A option tells zip to adjust the entry
offsets stored in the archive to take into account this "pream-
ble" data.
