Hi,

I just stumbled on a hard 100 character limitation for the combined path and
filename of a tar entry. Its existence is more than obvious from the ant
code, but a solution seems a lot less simple. A bit of searching gave me the
following link (http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_mono/tar.html#SEC112),
where there is an explanation of the difference between POSIX and GNU
versions of tar.

Does anyone know whether there is -one- way of handling longer paths in
tars? I am willing to do some coding, but I want to be sure of the specs to
follow.

Regards,
Marcel
