deco file extraction framework
deco is a command-line program that, together with the deco-archive package, allows you to extract dozens of popular archive file formats. It has a consistent interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.rar 3.zip 4.flac 5.deb") and consistent behavior (never deleting archives after extraction and extracting relative to the current working directory, just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It creates an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level, and it is able to fix strange permissions.

Release Notes: A crash when handling archive formats that always extract to a subdirectory was fixed. A grammatical mistake in the usage message and a (still) misleading error message was corrected. Minor code cleanup and optimization. The compiler optimization level was set to -O2 instead of -O1 in the default CFLAGS.
