You probably already know this, but symbolic links will be an issue. Lots of
my packages (openssl for instance) have symbolic links in them in source
tarballs and output RPMs. For reference, TrueZip and Ant have an
implementation of tar and if there is a symbolic link, it won't unpack
properly. So I have to shell out to the OS tar command. The recent builds of
openJDK 1.7 have symbolic link support.
