Yea ok, its going to mean a pretty major change to tar.c, are we on any
deadline for 0.52 to be released ?
Actually there is one more piece of duplicated code ive introduced.
fgets_str.c is meant as a more general replacement for
get_line_from_file.c, i havent had any fedback on it, but i am thinking
it could be a good general purpose function for reading from streams.
fgets_str will read from a stream untill the supplied terminating
string is found, it can replace get_line_from_file by using "\n" as the
terminating string.
Currently its used by dpkg.c on the status file with a terminating
string on "\n\n", so it reads it one package entry at a time. I am
working on overhauling dpkg.c to make it smarter, but thats another story.
