 Replying to [comment:16 mfeiri@…]:
 > Oh, when I created this patch there was no support for hfsCompression in
 libarchive. I just noticed that a couple of weeks later "experimental
 support for HFS+ Compression" was added to libarchive. Yay! I guess this
 means we can get rid of the additional round of i/o. Would you suggest to
 somehow depend on our port of libarchive or to import libarchive/bsdtar
 into the base macports distribution?
 Well, I guess using `${prefix}/bin/bsdtar --hfsCompression ...` would be
 simplest, but the disadvantage would be it could only be used after the
 port is installed.
