The API for using partial writes, as described in my last message, sucked.
So here's a patch against my last patch that changes things so that
write_bunzip_data calls read_bunzip_data itself behind the scenes whenever
necessary. So usage is now just start_bunzip(), write_bunzip_data() until it
returns a negative number, and then the cleanup at the end of
uncompressStream.
It adds 32 bytes to the executable, but it should allow the caller (tar) to be
simplified enough to compensate. Total -Os stripped exe size now 6856 bytes.

P.S. I attached the whole C file so you don't have to keep incremental
patches straight if you don't want to. :)
P.S. In the version I'm banging on now, I've simplified the license to just
LGPL. I read the OSL a bit more closely and the patent termination clause
would have bit IBM in their counter-suit of SCO if the code in question had
been OSL instead of GPL, and I've decided I just don't want to beta-test
legal code right now.
The tar -x command in busybox does not restore the file mode correctly.
The reason is most probably this code in
archival/libunarachive/data_extract_all.c:
chmod(file_header->name, file_header->mode);
chown(file_header->name, file_header->uid, file_header->gid);
chown clears the set*id bits (on current versions of linux :). Flipping
the order around fixes the problem.

REGTYPE
AREGTYPE
These flags represent a regular file. In order to be compatible with
older versions of tar, a typeflag value of AREGTYPE should be silently
recognized as a regular file. New archives should be created using
REGTYPE. Also, for backward compatibility, tar treats a regular file
whose name ends with a slash as a directory.
Always preserve creation date
Disable the -p option its for modification date
Remove some cpio header debugging noise
Syncronise file listing behaviour with upstream.
If we read the contents of compressed files within the ar archive,
e.g. control.tar.gz, then file position gets all out of whack, so
it has to be reset before reading thenext header.
