Would it be possible to include patches similar to (or based
upon) the following diffs, in order to get `bsdtar' to compile
cleanly under my (older) 4.x -- based on checking out HEAD of
libarchive and bsdtar from the CVS repository? (I haven't looked
for source otherwise, sorry; this is to make an future MFC more
compatible with older 4.x)

As you see, I'm not sure how to best handle id_t above.
My source may be outdated, being some ten days old.
