Since we're soon going to start distributing the database as a standalone archive, it'll be useful if we had tools which can import/export between the local database filesystem tree and a database archive file. While users/apps could just use 'tar' directly, providing these tools makes life simpler as users don't need to remember where the correct database locations are. For these tools I'm using libarchive since it is available on all platforms (BSD, Linux, MinGW and OS-X). For the format it is using the tar "pax" format (the latest POSIX tar format) since it has unlimited filename/path lengths support, and the 'xz' compression scheme since it is by far the best at compressing these XML files.
