Looking at cvs blame and cvs log, there were many changes between 4.1.23
and 4.3.6.  I probably disabled libarchive support out of a judgement
call, knowing I had bigger fish to fry (security updates).

If the current lack of libarchive support is a problem then we can
probably add it.  Can you please confirm that tar/libarchive support in
smbclient is fully usable to backup and restore files on a share?

PS: if a port has a maintainer then do Cc them.  (+cc Ian)
