Yah.  I've been thinking that it might turn into another kind of
custom block like tapetype and dumptype.  Something like:
       algorithm algo1 {
               algo 1 stuff
       }
       algorithm algo2 {
               algo 2 stuff
       }

       taper_algorithms algo1 algo2

[...]

I'd just like to comment that I find this idea very appealing in its
flexibility and legibility.  I believe that with just a few options, one
could fine-tune an installation relatively easily.

And it lowers the need for splitting dump across tapes even more.
Or should we implement splitting dumps accross tapes first,
making this taper tuning less needed?
