updating kdar to work with libdar 4 (dar 2.3.1)

Hi,

I would like to help with getting kdar working with the newer dar
libraries.  I am a beginner C++  programmer, so will need help, but am
prepared to spend  time learning and will put in some effort if anyone
still reads this list.

I've been digging around in the source, but not finding it easy to
figure out all the new stuff needed to be passed when using new
libdar::archive in createArchiveThread.cpp.

Also,

Dennis, have you managed to put togeather a summary of the API
changes?  It would help in updating kdar to use them.
