downloadtar-a7e9b6a17b2c111f4afa5ae35e3a206483366693.tar.gz
Allow installers to specify alternative program names for compression programs.
This adds --with-gzip, --with-bzip2 etc. switches to the configure, so that one can do, e.g. ./configure --with-bzip2=lbzip2 and have lbzip2 executed whenever user calls `tar --bzip2'. * acinclude.m4: New file. * configure.ac: Add TAR_COMPR_PROGRAM invocations for the supported compressors. * src/buffer.c (magic): Use *_COMPRESSOR defines instead of hardcoded program names. * src/suffix.c (compression_suffixes): Likewise.
