Mac zip compress without __MACOSX folder?

When I compress files with the built in zip compressor in Mac OSX, it causes an extra folder titled “__MACOSX” to be created in the extracted zip.

Can I adjust my settings to keep this folder from being created or do I need to purchase a third party compression tool?

UPDATE: I just found a freeware app for OSX that solves my problem: “YemuZip”

UPDATE 2: YemuZip is no longer freeware.
