The zip package has a FileHeader struct that uses the fields required by zip files.
Unfortunately these fields do not map nicely to os.FileInfo fields.

I think it would be helpful to provide conversion functions:

zip.HeaderForInfo(*os.FileInfo) *zip.FileHeader
zip.InfoForHeader(*zip.FileHeader) *.os.FileInfo

This would be particularly convenient when it comes to date/time and permissions
handling.

Similar functions would also be helpful (but not as necesary) in the tar package.

Comment 1:

Of course, even better would be *zip.FileHeader methods:
zip.FileHeader.FileInfo() *os.FileInfo
zip.FileHeader.Populate(*os.FileInfo)

Comment 3:

The *For* names are not idiomatic.
It should be a FileInfo method on the zip file header.

Comment 4:

This will be partly addressed by FileInfo becoming an interface.
