Not exactly, but that would be a beginning.
What I mean is trying to do as much as possible with just one codebase.
So when you, for example, add a new field in struct fileinfo, you don't
have to copy the implementation code from tarlib to tgzlib.
Support tar and tgz with as little code as possible.
