Attached are new patch versions. Rebased them over current head, fixed a
number of bugs in the seek and backspace code, and did a bunch of
stylistic cleanups and comment fixes.
I changed the API of LogicalTapeBackspace() slightly. If you try to back
up beyond the beginning of tape, it used to return FALSE and do nothing.
Now it backspaces as much as it can, to the very beginning of the tape,
and returns the amount backspaced. That was more convenient than the old
behaviour with this new implementation.
