After some thinking, I realized it would be nice to have "streaming support". That is, being able to write the archive file directly to stdout for possible use in a Unix pipeline. This is not possible if the output file requires seeking, and the way the file format is specified I don't think seeking is avoidable. Thus, the file format should be revisited to be writable in a single pass.
