#625 Extracting several files from .tar.gzip without unpacking all archive
libarchive implements this by using "seek-through-archive" technique (the read and unpacked tar headers are used to jump directly to the next file, avoiding all intermediate read operations allowing to build .tar.gz archive index relatively fast).
