Winzip problem uncompressing XaPool archives

For information:

Some versions of WinZip (8 and lower) don't unzip properly the .tgz
files of the XaPool distribution.

The problem can be fixed by changing the files extensions, from .tgz to
.tar.gz
(example: rename xapool-1.5.0-src.tgz => xapool-1.5.0-src.tar.gz).

Then, WinZip takes 2 steps to open the archive: one to extract the
archive in a temporary folder, and the 2nd to extract the files.

WinZip 9 handles .tgz files properly (although in 2 steps as well), so
the problem will not occur on recent systems.

Regards,
