Paul, I'd like to install this patch but have a couple of suggestions. First (and I apologize for not looking at it closer), I'd like to use any false value -- None or 0 would be preferrable -- to indicate use-the-internal-archiver. Maybe your patch already supports that.

I'm sorry I don't have the time to port to re module. Do you think you'd be able to do it? I'd rather not include new dependencies on regsub, which is deprecated and may someday go away.
Here's documentation on re:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-re.html
If you do port to re, please resubmit the patch against the CVS snapshot and I'd be very happy to install it.
These issues shouldn't take me too long. I'll do the port to re now that I have documentation. Look for the new patch soon.
Thanks.
Paul
