H A DMakefile125635 Mon Feb 09 21:22:54 MST 2004 kientzle 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.
