agc 36cb71eac8 Initial import of afio-2.4.7 into the NetBSD Packages Collection.
The nudge came from a netbsd-help posting by Thomas Hafner and a URL
posted by Jeremy Reed.

Afio makes cpio-format archives.  It deals somewhat gracefully with
input data corruption.  Supports multi-volume archives during
interactive operation.  Afio can make compressed archives that are
much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives.  Afio is best used as
an `archive engine' in a backup script.
