archive_read_disk API to pull metadata off of disk. This
removes a lot of platform-specific knowledge of things like
ACLs, file flags, and extended attributes from bsdtar.
This replaces the getopt()/getopt_long() wrapper, the old-style
argument rewriter and the associated configuration glue with a more
straightforward custom command parser. In particular, this ensures
that bsdtar will have consistent option parsing on every platform,
regardless of whether the platform supports getopt_long().

understand which code paths aren't possible.
This commit eliminates 117 false positive bug reports of the form
"allocate memory; error out if pointer is NULL; use pointer".
In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes:
* --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract)
* -S (sparsify files on extraction)
* -s (regex filename substitutions)
* Use new libarchive 'linkify' to get correct hardlink handling for
both old and new cpio formats
* Rework 'copy' test to be insensitive to readdir() filename ordering
Most of the credit for this work goes to Joerg Sonnenberger, who
has been duplicating features from NetBSD's 'pax' program.
handling to bsdtar. When writing archives (including copying via the
@archive directive) a line is output to stderr indicating what is being
done (adding or copying), the path, and how far through the file we are;
extracting currently does not report progress within each file, but
this is likely to happen eventually.

(This does a couple of things that the standard library's strmode()
doesn't; it proved useful in bsdcpio as well, so I pushed it down
into libarchive.)
* Implement --use-compress-program using new libarchive feature.
* Minor portability improvement by adjusting casts used to
print out uids, gids, and device numbers.
Thanks to: Joerg Sonnenberger for the --use-compress-program implementation.

* New test scripts exercise some basic functionality
* Most header inclusions are now protected (portability)
* read.c now relies on security checks in libarchive instead
of trying to do its own (optimization)
* -p now enabled by default for root, add --no-same-permissions
to disable it
* Comments, minor style fixes.

minor corrections so the code works better with the build system being
used for non-FreeBSD builds.

Wollman: when stripping the leading '/' from the path "/", don't produce
an entry with an empty name; produce "." instead.

of course, but I make an effort to accomodate GNU tar scripts that
use -o with -c (with a meaning that totally contradicts SUSv2) by
only issuing a benign warning message in that case.
* Add --null option (sort #defines here)
* Add process_lines function to util.c that reads newline-terminated
or null-terminated lines (with self-sizing buffers, etc) and iteratively
invokes a provided function. Use this to dramatically simplify:
-T handling for -c, --exclude-from-file, and --include-from-file.
* Add -T handling to -x (via include_from_file)
Hopefully, this will fix the openoffice port and a couple of
others that rely on -T and --null.
directory, then a file with that symlink as a prefix can drop a file
outside of the current directory, which can be a security hole.
Plug this hole by refusing to extract files if a prefix of the
pathname is a symlink. The -P option disables this check.
table for the hardlink cache. This dramatically improves
performance when archiving millions of hardlinked files.
While I'm here, clean up some style bugs (per Bruce Evans)
and clarify some comments.
