Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

r204111 (uqs):
Fix common misspelling of hierarchy
r211054 (kientzle);
Fix -R when used with -p. Previously, the
uname and gname weren't overwritten, so the
disk restore would use those to lookup the
original uid/gid again. Clearing the uname
and gname prevents this.
r212263 (gjb):
Fix typo in bsdcpio manual:
s/libarchive_formats/libarchive-formats
MFC after: 2 weeks
