(Unicode C++) Create TAR BZ2 Compressed Archive (.tar.bz2, .tbz, .tbz2, .tb2)

Demonstrates how to create a compressed TAR archive containing an entire directory tree. This example creates a compressed archive using BZip2 compression. The typical file extensions used are .tar.bz2, .tbz2, .tbz, or .tb2.

    // The TAR component will produce a  GNU tar 1.13.x format
    // archive by default.
    // It is also possible to create PAX -- POSIX 1003.1-2001 format
    // or USTAR -- POSIX 1003.1-1988 format.
    // Set the WriteFormat property to "gnu", "pax", or "ustar" to
    // choose the output TAR format:
    tar.put_WriteFormat(L"gnu");

    // Create the compressed TAR archive using BZip2.
    // Note: You may use UNC paths, absolute, or relative paths.
