Support escaped characters for rpm archives (834 bytes, patch)

Description Eric Piel 2008-06-01 13:43:03 UTC 
Currently, the rpm archives which contains special characters (such as space/tabs, or non ascii characters) are not correctly displayed. For instance, this can be notice in the Adobe Reader rpm archive:
/./opt/Adobe/Help/en_US/Adobe\ Reader

The "\" should not be there! This also prevents the archives to be fully extracted. This is because cpio escapes all "special" characters.

I'll attach a patch which fixes this bug, by using g_compress() on the output from cpio.
