Changes

  1. icomment:
    Currently, `ofarc` refuses to extract anything that is not a file or a directory. This is currently for security reasons, as otherwise a tar file could create a symlink `x -> /home/js` and then contain a file `x/.profile` to override my `/home/js/.profile` file. Many archivers have this security hole (in fact, I reported this to Apple a few years back, as their tar was vulnerable), so special care has to be taken here to avoid this.
