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.
