Update libarchive to 3.1.2
Some of new features:
- support for lrzip and grzip compression
- support for writing tar v7 format
- b64encode and uuencode filters
- support for __MACOSX directory in Zip archives
- support for lzop compresion (external utility)
Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

Revision 3740:
Use archive_clear_error() to clear the error markers.

[mixing the two can be quite bad -- they define the same context structures,
but with differing structure members (and sizes)]
Update the hash function support comments, and update config_freebsd.h
to match.

Restoring POSIX.1e Extended Attributes on FreeBSD, part 1
This implements the basic ability to restore extended attributes
on FreeBSD, including a test suite.
from libarchive.googlecode.com: Add a new "archive_read_disk" API
that provides the important service of reading metadata from the
disk. In particular, this will make it possible to remove all
knowledge of extended attributes, ACLs, etc, from clients such
as bsdtar and bsdcpio.
Closely related, this API also provides pluggable uid->uname
and gid->gname lookup and caching services similar to
the uname->uid and gname->gid services provided by archive_write_disk.
Remember this is also required for correct ACL management.
Documentation is still pending...
feedback, but the 2.5 branch is shaping up nicely.)
In addition to many small bug fixes and code improvements:
* Another iteration of versioning; I think I've got it right now.
* Portability: A lot of progress on Windows support (though I'm
not committing all of the Windows support files to FreeBSD CVS)
* Explicit tracking of MBS, WCS, and UTF-8 versions of strings
in archive_entry; the archive_entry routines now correctly return
NULL only when something is unset, setting NULL properly clears
string values. Most charset conversions have been pushed down to
archive_string.
* Better handling of charset conversion failure when writing or
reading UTF-8 headers in pax archives
* archive_entry_linkify() provides multiple strategies for
hardlink matching to suit different format expectations
* More accurate bzip2 format detection
* Joerg Sonnenberger's extensive improvements to mtree support
* Rough support for self-extracting ZIP archives. Not an ideal
approach, but it works for the archives I've tried.
* New "sparsify" option in archive_write_disk converts blocks of nulls
into seeks.
* Better default behavior for the test harness; it now reports
all failures by default instead of coredumping at the first one.
* "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

Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
conditionally use utime() when utimes() is not available;
allow the most common wide-char functions to be replaced
when local alternatives are lacking.
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
config_freebsd.h. archive_platform.h decides which config file
to bring in and uses some of those selectors to define wrapper
macros and other compatibility glue.
