5958ff08bd Basic support for ZIP archives.
Only supports "deflate" and "none" compression for now.

Also, add a few clarifications to the archive_read.3 manpage as
requested by William Dean DeVries.

9e5ae80dce Enable ISO9660 support in "read_support_format_all".
In particular, bsdtar should now recognize ISO9660 images.

30230b4fd0 'gnutar' is now handled by the 'tar' reader, so
there's no need to enable support for it separately
from 'tar.'  (The call to enable gnutar support is
now just an alias for the tar support, left in to
avoid API breakage.)

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.
