Did you check the hamigaki library? There are several archiver
supported: http://hamigaki.sourceforge.jp/doc/html/archivers.html even
compress/uncompress of tar, zip (zip64)!

Unfortunately all in Japanese, but C++ is international ...

If I would have time and knowlege I would like write a virtual file
system using this with the vfs API from http://commons.apache.org/vfs/
but I'm hobbyist.
