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.

exit immediately with an error.
If there is an error opening or reading a file to put into the archive,
set the return value for a deferred error exit.

report the compression ratio as 0% instead of displaying
nonsense triggered by numeric overflow. This is common
when dealing with uncompressed files when the I/O blocking
causes there to be small transient differences in the
accounting.

* It is not extracted (because it is excluded)
* If it's not present in the archive, then an error is
reported (because the file was requested and not found)
* If it is present in the archive, no error is reported.
Previously, this would always report an error because the
exclusion prevented the entry from matching the inclusion.
Also, tar is now more reluctant to report unmatched inclusions.
Previously, "tar x file1 'file*'" against an archive that contained a
single entry "file1" would match file1 and then report an error for
the second pattern because it wasn't matched. It now considers both
inclusions to be matched and reports no error.
isolate common code used by tar and cpio (and useful to other
libarchive clients). The functions here are prefixed with
"lafe" (libarchive front-end) to indicate their use.
is sufficiently different that it was simpler to just put separate
reporting functions into read.c and write.c rather than try to have
a single all-purpose reporting function.
Switch to a custom function for converting int64_t to a string; in
the portable version, this saves a lot of configuration headaches
trying to decipher the platform printf().
use -b 2048 (1MiB block size). Setting the limit to 8192 should
allow some room for growth while still helping people who mistakenly
put in byte counts here instead of block counts.
