I've got John Gilmore's tar working.  It's the direct predecessor of the gnu
version.  The only tricky thing is that you'd like to restore the correct
file type (obj, coff, etc) on restore.  This isn't absolutely required but
it's nice to have.  I also made some performance improvements. I can send
diffs if anyone is interested.
