06d2a666e4 libarchive itself is now completely clean at WARNS=10 on all architectures.
Unfortunately, the stock zlib.h is not:
  line 885: 'err' parameter shadows global 'err' definition from <err.h>

Back the WARNS level down to 3 to accomodate borked zlib.h.

2710e4d1ef Initial import of libarchive.
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.
