Actually, we were porting du(1) rather than bsdtar/libarchive.  The du
built into Tru64 is seriously broken[1] and the FreeBSD one seemed an
easy solution.  The fts(3) changes are functionally equivalent to
yours but implemented without the #ifdef's so the code is not portable.

[1] If the content of a directory changes whilst it is processing the
    directory, it will give nonsense results - similar to:
$ du -sk .
du: File not found ./foo
0	./foo
$

Raise the issue with cvs@, it might still be possible (it would mean
that two different v1.1's would have existed, but the dates are
sufficiently separated that it may be allowed).
