Tarlz is a massively parallel (multi-threaded) combined implementation of
the tar archiver and the lzip compressor. Tarlz creates, lists and extracts
archives in a simplified posix pax format compressed with lzip, keeping the
alignment between tar members and lzip members. This method adds an indexed
lzip layer on top of the tar archive, making it possible to decode the
archive safely in parallel. The resulting multimember tar.lz archive is
fully backward compatible with standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat
it like any other tar.lz archive. Tarlz can append files to the end of such
compressed archives.

Tarlz does not understand other tar formats like gnu, oldgnu, star or v7.

Tested under a shell stack of 2000000 only.

Source & bonus minilzip also included.
