This is annoying the heck out of me. I first saw this with our viewcvs interface on the the website, which allowed people tar files, but I had to disable it because it couldn't do long filenames. And now a lot of people are finding that it doesn't work on their platform because they don't have a tar that supports GNU tar extensions. Unfortunately, 100 characters isn't a very long name, given classes named like above. I'd like to eliminate the dependency on GNU tar. But I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. Any ideas?
