(<quotearg.h>): New include.
(enum permstatus): New enum.
(struct delayed_set_stat): file_name is now at end of buffer, to avoid
two mallocs. New members file_name_len, invert_permissions, permstatus.
(extr_init): Remove hack that silently adjusted newdir_umask.
(set_mode, set_stat): New args invert_permissions, permstatus, typeflag.
Use these args to decide whether and how to set modes.
(set_mode, set_stat, prepare_to_extract, extract_sparse_file, extract_archive):
Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.
(set_stat): Remove arg symlink_flag; subsumed by typeflag.
(delay_set_stat, repair_delayed_set_stat): New functions.
(make_directories): Avoid mkdir where last part of path is "..".
Create a struct delayed_set_stat for each directory made.
(prepare_to_extract): Renamed from unlink_destination, and
return 0 immediately if to_stdout_option; all callers changed.
(maybe_recoverable): New parameter interdir_made.
Add support for --overwrite.
(extract_sparse_file, extract_archive):
Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
(extract_archive): By default, warn about ".." in member names, and skip them.
Don't open files with O_NONBLOCK or O_APPEND.
Open with O_TRUNC only if --overwrite; otherwise, use O_EXCL to avoid
overwriting them. Pass only rwxrwxrwx permissions to `open' and `mkdir',
minus the current umask. Keep track of intermediate directories made,
to avoid looping when making x/../x when x doesn't exist; the
earlier code solved this in a different way that didn't fit well
into the new scheme. Don't extract permissions onto existing
directories unless --overwrite is given. Do not add -wx------
permissions to new directories permanently; just do it temporarily.
Remove no-longer-needed hack with MSDOS and directory time stamps.
(apply_delayed_set_stat): New argument specifies which directories to
fix statuses of. Do not wait until the end of extraction to fix
statuses; instead, fix a directory's status once we exit that directory.
This requires less memory and does the right thing in some cases
where the old method didn't.
(fatal_exit): New function.
