p.s. I can not get the LARCHIVE problem to NOT happen now. So, until we fix it right, let's take my wrong fix. Three of us have tried and failed to fix this, so, let's assume it's not trivial.
NACK. I didn't even look into it yet. It won't become more trivial if we start discussing this in 2 years, and we come up with "we don't remember why we did it like that 2 years ago. There was some reason so we better leave it as it is". This stuff really scared me in the past.
There is no such thing as a makeshift solution.
Please go on and commit your ELF-as-LAR stuff without this and the other hack and keep them in your local tree so it works for you for now. I will try to fix it as soon as I am through all of the GSoC evaluations.
