Ok, I've applied your patch with a slight variation. See the haddocks:

http://haskell.org/~duncan/tar/docs/

Basically it's split into Codec.Archive.Tar for the high level bits of
the api you suggested and Codec.Archive.Tar.Entry for the details of
what an Entry is, how to construct one etc. Hopefully the documentation
makes that split clear.

I've exported 

fileType :: Entry -> FileType
data FileType = ...

from the high level api, rather than adding

isNormalFile :: Entry -> Bool


Thanks again for the feedback.
