Just FYI (http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/)  :

"Nov 9, 2008: libarchive 2.6 should be ready for release in a couple
of weeks. It includes the usual bevy of bug fixes and a couple of new
features: a new mtree writer, new lzma decompression support, and long
option support on all platforms for both bsdtar and bsdcpio. 2.5.900
and later are pre-release test versions; please try them out and let
me know about any issues you find. "

lzma decompression support looks cool, I wonder how it was
implemented, since I heard before that lzma-utils could not be used
because of its GPL licence. And if it's an implementation from
scratch, I wonder how well it works (and how fast).
I also wonder if the zip support has improved. There were some
problems with some zip archives, I will have to try that again.
