* Split archive_{read,write}_finish into separate "close" (finish the archivekientzle2004-08-071-3/+9

* Overhauled ACL support. This makes us compatiblekientzle2004-04-051-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | with 'star' ACL handling, though there's still a bit more work needed in this area. Added 'write_open_fd' and 'read_open_fd' to simplify, e.g., tar's u and r modes. Eliminated old 'write_open_file_position' as a bad idea. (It required closing/reopening files to do updates, which led to unpleasant implications.) Various other minor fixes, API tweaks, etc.
* Initial import of libarchive.kientzle2004-02-091-0/+368
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.
