Idea: read the list from file, generate result for tar

[plamenjm]

An idea:
Ability to read the input list of files and directories from a file.
And ability to generate result list of files suitable for the tar command.

The list should be sorted by duplicates. This way, the compression filter, (even with smaller dictionary), will recognize the duplicated data and optimize the compression.

Note: If I already prepared a list of files to archive, then generating a list of files for 'tar' command is enough. Other way, for more complete 'archive' solution, additional options will be wanted - like support for wildcard mask; rules to include, exclude or ignore files/directories; follow links; etc.

Best wishes.
