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().

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.
running 'tar ""' would print 'No memory' instead of the correct error
message, 'Must specify one of -c, -r, -t, -u, -x' if malloc is set to
System V mode (malloc(0) == NULL).
files if the existing file is newer than the archive entry).
Currently if any files are ignored, bsdtar will exit with a non-zero
exit status; this is likely to change in the future, but requires some
API changes in libarchive.

* --format can be used with -r or -u
* -o is a synonym for --format=ustar when used with -c, -r, or -u
Also, fix the erroneous sanity check that suppressed --format with -r or -u.
GNU tar changed -l to match SUSv2 a couple of years ago,
so bsdtar no longer needs to pander to this particular GNUism.

* prototypes for optarg/optind on platforms that don't already have them
* Disambiguate version number macros
* Remove unnecessary PACKAGE_NAME macro
* Hook for forthcoming bsdtar test suite
* Sync version number up with the portable distribution
* 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.
forthcoming. This commit also has a number of style(9) fixes and
minor corrections so the code works better with the build system being
used for non-FreeBSD builds.
Many thanks to: Jaakko Heinonen, who proposed a mechanism for extended
attribute support and implemented both the machine-independent portion
and the Linux-specific portion.
(I'm not using GPL, but I still think there are good
ideas in the GNU projects. ;-) Among other things,
this should make it easier for clients of bsdtar to
recognize it automatically:
bsdtar --version | grep bsdtar
set up before it is called, so move the progname initialization before
the first possible call to bsdtar_warnc().

should be correctly enabled on Linux, dirent.d_namlen should be
correctly detected on platforms that support it.

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

Special thanks to: Steven M. Bellovin, Rich $alz, and Jim Berets,
authors of the public-domain getdate.y date-parsing code.
In particular:
-W excl=text
fails because "excl" is a prefix of both "exclude" and "exclude-from". But,
-W exclude=text
is okay because it matches "exclude" exactly.

synonym for --format. Update the man page to reflect this. While
I'm here, change the man page to document "tar" rather than "bsdtar,"
update some comments about -l compatibility and fix a few grammar nits.
For -l, upset everyone by breaking it. Specifically, -l now produces
a lengthy error message that suggests --check-links (POSIX -l) or
--one-file-system (GNU -l) instead. However, if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
use the POSIX interpretation.
For -o, please everyone by making it work both ways:
* -xo uses POSIX behavior
* -co uses "almost GNU" behavior (as close as we can get until
libarchive implements a true V7 tar format)
