Instead of asking for an open sourcing of the tool, what is the high-
level thing you want to do?
Based on your questions, it sounds like you want to know how pax
supports resource forks
and finder info in Tiger, and emulate that. If this is the case, you
probably want
to look look at the implementation of copyfile_pack() in Libc:
<http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4.2/Libc-391/darwin/copyfile.c>
This has all of the "Support extended attributes, including resource
forks
and finder info" functionality as advertised for Tiger, and is used
by gnutar, pax, etc.

I suggest filing a bug with that request.
Apple rarely open sources things which have inherent dependencies on
closed source technologies. SplitForks almost certainly uses File
Manager.
I wouldn't expect it to happen :-)
