P.S. It's galled me for a while that pkg_add has to fork 'tar' to
extract the archive. I've started piecing together a library that

FYI, libtar[0] is BSD-licensed and might be useful to such a project.

Thanks for the pointer. I took a look, and there are some good ideas there, although my current libtarfile work has a few features that libtar lacks. Cribbing from libtar could be useful, though. (I'm also using John Gilmore's old PD tar as a source of ideas.)
