(2a) tar archive creation without "--numeric-owner" option:
In GNU tar 1.26, for every file the owner is stored both, symbolic and

shows us how to do that:
star stores the numeric owner in a forth field of an acl: (e.g.
"u:msteinbo:rwx:500").
Correct, this is an extension to the ACL format that was needed to allow ACLs
to be archivable in a reliable way at all.
Well, I have to notice that this is not fixed before release of an ACL
anbeled tar. So every tar archive created with GNU tar 1.27 does not
store ACLs in a reliable way.
Expect bug reports what that breaks... I would expect to break
everything with numeric owner option.

PS: Not good - now I've got to fix tar myself to have a usable tar
again... Good luck there are GPL-Codes I can copy extracts from.
