This one is fixed, i had the wrong #defines around unarchive. Reminds me 
of the the drawbacks from the old utilities.c.

The only reason i put all the functions in this layout is because all 
these functions in unarchive.c need to access the one global variable, 
it also needs to be accessed from applets.
If i just declared it in libbb.h then it was ugly as it generated 
warnings for every applet that it wasnt used in.

Is there a better way to approach this ?

Maybe when the dust settles i could make it its own library, like 
pwd_grp ?
