The fixed Archive::Tar I sent you to allow MacOS writing of tar files, or
do you just want this to be read only for now?   (The patch I sent to Steve
Zander will be in the next Archive::Tar.)  We also know there's a small bug
in Archive::Tar, the one that bit me on SunOS, for which we should just
wait for the fix.  But it may mean that unpacking gzipped tar files might
occasionally mysteriously fail until it gets fixed.

Otherwise, everything looks fine.
