* 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. ;-)
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.
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.
