[RndTbl] Unix command line challenge!

[Kevin McGregor]

Given a gzipped cpio archive (12 GB!) with files in it like:

wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/CILICEXP.xml
wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/CILTSVTP.xml
wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/C1LOOUPP.xml
wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/CILTTRAL.xml
wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/CILCSSPL.xml
wwdsvdccb101/root/data/ccb/ccbx/splapp/servers/myserver/tmp/.appmergegen_1347913274622/SPLWeb.ear/h7y1ba/data/xml/CILTCLGP.xml

How can I change the first component of the path to something else without
unpacking the entire archive to disk first? Obviously I'll still have to
un-gzip and de-cpio the whole 12GB while processing; I just don't want to
put the whole thing on disk while I'm changing the path.

Any ideas?
