* "compression_program" support uses an external program
* Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary
data interchange structure internally
* Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate
out copy_stat() and stat() functions
* More complete tests for archive_entry
* Finish archive_entry_clone()
* Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove
these from everywhere else.
* Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data
* Bug fixes to 'ar' support
* Fix memory leak in ZIP reader
* Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader
* New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not
overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end)
* Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax
* Test enhancements: fix various compiler warnings, improve
portability, add lots of new tests.
* Documentation: document new functions, first draft of
libarchive_internals.3
MFC after: 14 days
Thanks to: Joerg Sonnenberger (compression_program)
Thanks to: Kai Wang (ar)
Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes)
Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.

a vanilla 2-clause BSD license, but somehow some confusing
extra verbage get copied from somewhere.
Also, update the copyright dates to 2007 for all of the files.
Prompted by: several questions about what those extra words really mean

* Actually use the HAVE_<header>_H macros to conditionally include
system headers. They've been defined for a long time, but only
used in a few places. Now they're used pretty consistently
throughout.
* Fill in a lot of missing casts for conversions from void*.
Although Standard C doesn't require this, some people have been
trying to use C++ compilers with this code, and they do require it.
Bit-for-bit, the compiled object files are identical, except for
one assert() whose line number changed, so I'm pretty confident I
didn't break anything. ;-)

for libarchive error messages. Mostly, this
avoids a portability headache related to
copying va_list arguments (some FreeBSD 5
platforms require va_copy; FreeBSD 4 doesn't
support va_copy at all). It also dramatically reduces the
size of libarchive for embedded applications:
a minimal "untar" program using libarchive can now be
under 64k statically linked (as opposed to ~100k
using library *printf() functions).

* Disabled shared-library building, as some API breakage is
still likely. (I didn't realize it was turned on by default.) If
you have an existing /usr/lib/libarchive.so.2, I recommend deleting it.
* Pax interchange format now correctly stores and reads UTF8
for extended attributes. In particular, pax format can portably
handle arbitrarily long pathnames containing arbitrary characters.
* Library compiles cleanly at -O2, -O3, and WARNS=6 on all
FreeBSD-CURRENT platforms.
* Minor portability improvements inspired by Juergen Lock
and Greg Lewis. (Less reliance on stdint.h, isolating of
various portability-challenged constructs.)
* archive_entry transparently converts multi-byte <-> wide character
strings, allowing clients and format handlers to deal with either
one, as appropriate.
* Support for reading 'L' and 'K' entries in standard tar archives
for star compatibility.
* Recognize (but don't yet handle) ACL entries from Solaris tar.
* Pushed format-specific data for format readers down into
format-specific storage and out of library-global storage. This
should make it easier to maintain individual formats without mucking
with the core library management.
* Documentation updates to track the above changes.
* Updates to tar.5 to correct a few mistakes and add some additional
information about GNU tar and Solaris tar formats.
Notes:
* The basic 'tar' reader is getting more general; there's not much
point in keeping the 'gnutar' reader separate. Merging the two
would lose a bunch of duplicate code.
* The libc ACL support is looking increasingly inadequate for my needs
here. I might need to assemble some fairly significant code for
parsing and building ACLs. <sigh>

What it is:
A library for reading and writing various streaming archive
formats, especially tar and cpio. Being a library, it should
be easy to incorporate into pkg_* tools, sysinstall, and any
other place that needs to read or write such archives.
Features:
* Full automatic detection of both compression and archive format.
* Extensible internal architecture to make it easy to add new formats.
* Support for "pax interchange format," a new POSIX-standard tar format
that eliminates essentially all of the restrictions of historic formats.
* BSD license
Thanks to: jkh for pushing me to start this work, gordon for
encouraging me to commit it, bde for answering endless style
questions, and many others for feedback and encouragement.
Status: Pretty good overall, though there are still a few rough edges and
the library could always use more testing. Feedback eagerly solicited.
