Michael Gold <mg...@qnx.com> added the comment:

Actually, TarFile should also have a separate method to take a TarInfo instance 
and modify its type to LNKTYPE if applicable.  gettarinfo can call that.

This way the user can use a TarInfo object created before any files are added, 
and can easily get this linking behaviour if desired.

(Note: In my initial message, I had LNKNAME where I meant LNKTYPE.)
