(The "regular" bsdtar provided by the MinGW project +is dynamically linked, and has several additional dependencies). + +In contrast, this version is: + native win32 + linked statically against libz (zlib), libbz2 (bzip2), + and liblzma (xz). This, it supports intrinsically + .tar.lzma, .tar.xz, .tar.bz2, and .tar.gz. It also + supports .iso and various other formats, but that's + not important here. + +You should be able to unpack this archive, and use the included +bsdtar.exe without any other prerequisites. Like its more full- +featured cousin, however, there are several KNOWN ISSUES; bsdtar +fails some of its own testsuite tests. These failures should not +cause any issues when used for the intended purpose: + + unpacking MinGW/MSYS archives distributed from mingw.org + and/or http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ + +If you attempt to use it for any other purpose, and it fails, +kills your cat, destroys your data, or causes marital problems, +you are on your own. In fact, that's true even if you DO use +it for its intended purpose, so let's go ahead an make that clear: + + +LICENSE +======================================================================== + +Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without +modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions +are met: +1.
