@eliezer - Unarchiving .exe files isn't useless at all… While this is a lot less common nowadays, you still see some self-extracting zip files… That is, they're windows executables that just automatically extract the zip within. Inside the archive could be any number of things that a Mac user might want to get at. The unzip utility built into OS X actually supports these as well (unzip from command line, don't think BOMArchiveHelper does).
