Thank you. I believe, however, that, given the p7zip deficiences, it is
too early to add its implicit support to GNU tar. It is not a big
requirement for the user to include --use-compress-program=p7zip option
in the command line, and its presense there would imply the user's
concious desision to use that format with all possible implications.

I willll gladly add your patch to GNU tar when proper streaming is
implemented in p7zip.

Regards,
Sergey
