1393f9061e Read gtar-style sparse archives.
This change also pointed out one API deficiency: the
archive_read_data_into_XXX functions were originally defined to return
the total bytes read.  This is, of course, ambiguous when dealing with
non-contiguous files.  Change it to just return a status value.

aee47dd7c8 More work on ACLs: fix error in archive_entry's ACL parsing code,
try to set ACLs even if fflag restore fails, first cut at reading
  Solaris tar ACLs

Code improvement: merge gnu tar read support into main tar reader;
  this eliminates a lot of duplicate code and generalizes the tar
  reader to handle formats with GNU-like extensions.

Style: Makefile cleanup, eliminate 'dmalloc' references, remove 'tartype'
  from archive_entry (this makes archive_entry more format-agnostic)

Thanks to: David Magda for providing Solaris tar test files

df3c1316b0 Many fixes.
Portability: Thanks to Juergen Lock, libarchive now compiles cleanly
on Linux.  Along the way, I cleaned up a lot of error return codes and
reorganized some code to simplify conditional compilation of certain
sections.

Bug fixes:
  * pax format now actually stores filenames that are 101-154
    characters long.
  * pax format now allows newline characters in extended attributes
    (this fixes a long-standing bug in ACL handling)
  * mtime/atime are now restored for directories
  * directory list is now sorted prior to fix-up to permit
    correct restore of non-writable dir heirarchies

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.
