I'm using Qt4.6, Qt Creator SDK and MinGW to write a simple program for Windows users to extract tar.gz archived files originally created on Linux.

I have the .gz decompression working with zlib, but I'm wondering if there is an included or built-in function to restore the files and folders contained within the .tar file in a Windows OS.

If not, is libarchive a good choice or are there better options to use with Qt4?

Thanks for your advice.
