FreeBSD-CURRENT bsdtar is synched up with libarchive-portable 2.5.5.

MFp4: bsdtar 2.5.4b

In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes:
* --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract)
* -S (sparsify files on extraction)
* -s (regex filen

MFp4: bsdtar 2.5.4b

In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes:
* --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract)
* -S (sparsify files on extraction)
* -s (regex filename substitutions)
* Use new libarchive 'linkify' to get correct hardlink handling for
both old and new cpio formats
* Rework 'copy' test to be insensitive to readdir() filename ordering

Most of the credit for this work goes to Joerg Sonnenberger, who
has been duplicating features from NetBSD's 'pax' program.

Add SIGINFO (and for portability to SIGINFO-lacking systems, SIGUSR1)
handling to bsdtar. When writing archives (including copying via the
@archive directive) a line is output to stderr indicating what is being
done (adding or copying), the path, and how far through the file we are;
extracting currently does not report progress within each file, but
this is likely to happen eventually.

bsdtar 2.2.3:
* Implement --use-compress-program using new libarchive feature.
* Minor portability improvement by adjusting casts used to
print out uids, gids, and device numbers.

Thanks to: Joerg Sonnenberger for pointing out the need and the technique.

Issue a warning if there's a non-zero exit value.

bsdtar 2.0.23:
* New test scripts exercise some basic functionality
* Most header inclusions are now protected (portability)
* read.c now relies on security checks in libarchive instead

* New test scripts exercise some basic functionality
* Most header inclusions are now protected (portability)
* read.c now relies on security checks in libarchive instead
of trying to do its own (optimization)
* -p now enabled by default for root, add --no-same-permissions
to disable it
* Comments, minor style fixes.

Extended attribute support on write for Linux; FreeBSD hooks are
forthcoming. This commit also has a number of style(9) fixes and
minor corrections so the code works better with the build system being
used for non-FreeBSD builds.

Many thanks to: Jaakko Heinonen, who proposed a mechanism for extended
attribute support and implemented both the machine-independent portion
and the Linux-specific portion.

Remove configure.ac.in and the 'distfile' target from
the FreeBSD makefile. This is a step towards cleaning
out the non-FreeBSD bits from the FreeBSD source tree.

Clarify some error messages.

bsdtar now uses the "tree" package instead of "fts" for walking
directory heirarchies.

Correct autoconf/automake invocation to work with devel/gnu-auto* from

Re-unbreak the distfile target.

Also, reduce the WARNS level to 5 since different build environments
end up using different Yacc skeletons. The BSD one does not
predeclare yyparse, the FSF one does, so it's not really possible to
consistently enforce both -Wmissing-prototypes and -Wredundant-decls.

Portability: the included fts.c should now
