including type puns and avoidable casts.

f81da3e584 libarchive 2.0
* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features
  * Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which
    uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk.  In particular,
    you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk
    without having an archive available.
  * Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where
    they can be better optimized.
  * Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce
    the number of system calls.  Several common cases now use a
    minimum number of system calls.
  * Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation
    of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key
    methods.
  * New "empty" format reader.
  * Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump)
  * Many bug fixes.

63165a380d Fix the copyright notice; it was always intended to be
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

9d8f7dccb3 Correct spelling of "accommodate", "guarantee", "guaranteed", "guard",
"return", "ridiculous", and "success".

aa1eeda578 Portability and style fixes:
* Actually use the HAVE_<header>_H macros to conditionally include
    system headers.  They've been defined for a long time, but only
    used in a few places.  Now they're used pretty consistently
    throughout.
  * Fill in a lot of missing casts for conversions from void*.
    Although Standard C doesn't require this, some people have been
    trying to use C++ compilers with this code, and they do require it.

Bit-for-bit, the compiled object files are identical, except for
one assert() whose line number changed, so I'm pretty confident I
didn't break anything.  ;-)

693285bc87 Use 'skip' when ignoring data in tar archives. This dramatically
increases performance when extracting a single entry from a large
uncompressed archive, especially on slow devices such as USB hard
drives.

Requires a number of changes:
   * New archive_read_open2() supports a 'skip' client function
   * Old archive_read_open() is implemented as a wrapper now, to
     continue supporting the old API/ABI.
   * _read_open_fd and _read_open_file sprout new 'skip' functions.
   * compression layer gets a new 'skip' operation.
   * compression_none passes skip requests through to client.
   * compression_{gzip,bzip2,compress} simply ignore skip requests.

Thanks to: Benjamin Lutz, who designed and implemented the whole thing.
   I'm just committing it.  ;-)

TODO: Need to update the documentation a little bit.

4ab219dbb9 Portability nit: Some platforms require stdio.h before bzlib.h.

57b665990a Eliminate reliance on non-portable <err.h> by implementing a very
simple errx() function.
Improve behavior when bzlib/zlib are missing by detecting and
issuing an error message on attempts to read gzip/bzip2 compressed
archives.

769756525d Conditionalize the bzip2/gzip compression/decompression
code on the existence of the relevant libraries (actually,
the existence of the include files).

This will allow the library to be easily ported to systems
that don't have these libraries.  (Of course, it also means
that clients using the library on such systems will not be
able to take advantage of the automatic compression format
detection.)

887bcd3995 Add statistics: track offset in compressed and uncompressed archive,
provide an interface for the client to query this information.

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.
