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).
MFC after: 14 days
is present for FreeBSD. If you "make distfile" on FreeBSD, you will
soon have a tar.gz file suitable for deploying to other systems
(complete with the expected "configure" script, etc). This latter
relies (at least for now) on the GNU auto??? tools. (I like autoconf
okay, but someday I hope to write a custom Makefile.in and dispense
with automake, which is somewhat odious.)
As part of this, I've cleaned up some of the conditional
compilation options, added make-foo to construct archive.h dynamically
(it now contains some version constants), and added some useful
informational files.
