But less broken, please.

Libarchive uses copyfile() to fetch/restore extended attribute bundles
on Mac OS, but it=92s a pretty ugly API.  In particular, there=92s no =

to fetch/restore an EA bundle directly to/from memory; you must go
through an intermediate file on disk, which is slow and race-prone.
