This is the libarchive archiving VFS (Virtual File System) plugin 
for Tux Commander file manager. Uses libarchive library, providing access
and routines for manipulation with the archives.


Feature highlights:
  *  read-only support for TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, ISO9660, CPIO, A (ar), 
     DEB archives
  *  full support for Unix file and directory permissions
  *  large files (> 4GB) support
  *  correctly handles sparse files

To be implemented:
  *  archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API)
  *  write support (probably creating new archives only)

Requirements:
  - system zlib and bzip2 libraries

Static compilation:
  - "make static"
  - mostly shared linking, except of libarchive
  - requires libarchive.a either in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64
    (depending on your platform)

Shared library compilation (default):
  - requires libarchive library installed on your system
  - "make shared"
