Actually, the OS-independent code for extended
attributes has already been implemented in libarchive,
thanks to Jaako Heinonen, who also wrote the
Linux-specific portions for archive_extract
(restore to disk) and tar/write.c (read from disk).

All that's needed is for someone to write the
FreeBSD-specific portions.  I'd be happy to give
pointers to anyone who has the time to finish this.
