While I think this might be a good idea, I don't like having the tags defined
in the config.h file.
- I think all options should be in proper config files so that I can change
the looks and configs of all my archives using the same executable.
- Using the conf[] array in the source like that (with hard coded
indexes) make everything utterly hard to read or modify and it becomes
very easy to make mistakes.
- The file name config.h clashes with the config.h file the configure script
makes, which will cause confusion.
These are just my views on this.
