CLEANUP
* massive cleanup
* error handling
* signal handling
* globals
* non-tar parallel compression
* multi-threaded decoding
* command-line options
* autoconf
* portability: byte-swapping
* optimized settings
* memory limit
* cpu number
* block size, for max threads on small files
BUGS
* fast input or slow output -> blocks pile up, huge memory usage
* performance lags under IO?
* slow input -> CPUs idle while waiting for input
* safe extraction
* validate file headers against index
* abort if block size exceeded
EFFICIENCY
* should use ordered list in collator
* more efficient indexing: ranges? sorted? mtree?
* circular buffer > linked list?
DOCUMENTATION
* man pages
* command help
FEATURES
* support multiple streams
* tarball append without decompression
* other archive formats: cpio?
* lzma-like API
* recovery tool (already is, kinda)
