KArchiver calls tar directly to remove files from an archive. That means we 
should use your current directory structure and one KTar archive for each 
object.

The top level directory should be marked with a special index file with a 
description for the library. When an user opens a library, he should have to 
choose this index file in the file dialog.

Just my suggestions.
