Hi,

My only comment is I've already been forced to change a fully working
PHP_Archive 3 times because of bugfixes that broke BC in pack/unpack,
and I changed it to sprintf("%u") because it was the only way to ensure
that the behavior works the same way on 32-bit and 64-bit.

I would appreciate it if this is the last change of this nature that I
need to deal with :).

As for PHP_Archive, I'll try to figure out a solution but to be honest,
I'm not too keen on this, as sprintf("%u") was the only solution I found
last time.  Perhaps dropping unpack() and rewriting it in userspace is
my only option <shiver>.

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. just to be clear, this is PHP_Archive we're talking about, not
phar.  phar is a PHP extension that has no such problems as it does all
the unpacking internally, PHP_Archive is a userspace stream wrapper that
uses unpack()/sprintf("%u")
