Given that, I'd be willing to implement "add from lar", so that you can move lar files from one archive into another. It would be something like lar -aL larfile:larpath:newlarpath. I think going back to ELF is problematic because it wouldn't be a true ELF anymore. Would that be enough, Stefan? Anyone else?
