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

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.  ;-)

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.
