Those files haven't been committed yet.

I was thinking about tgz support.
And I think using your method (replacing fopen() to gzopen()) is a bad
idea.
It will cause a lot of duplicate code.
Wouldn't it be better to add Gzip support directly into tarlib?
Like this:

GList *tl_getfiles (gboolean is_tgz)
{
    FILE *f;

    if (is_tgz)
        f = gzopen();
    else
        f = fopen();
}

It isn't correct code but you get the idea.

Or we can build it into GarpTar.
