This isn't pertinent to core node.js, but I'm hoping someone might be able to 
give me a hand.  I want to accomplish the equivalent of "tar -cf output.tar -C 
/tmp/whatever ."  with Isaac's fstream[1] and tar[2] modules.  Unfortunately I 
find the documentation really lacking; maybe I'm just missing something?

Here's essentially the code I'm using:

            fstream.Reader({ path: "/tmp/path/to/root, type: "Directory" })
                .pipe(tar.Pack())
                .pipe(zlib.createGzip())
                .pipe(fstream.Writer({
                    path: path.join("output.tar.gz"),
                    type: "File"
                }));

This is based on a gist[3].  If "/tmp/path/to/root/file.js" is a file, then 
output.tar.gz will contain the path "root/file.js", which is kind of weird.  
What I want to do is modify the path to each file, but I don't know where to 
start.  I only have a rough grasp of streams, and I can't really figure out how 
the data and metadata flow from the fstream.Reader.  Does anyone have any 
pointers?

Thanks,
Brian
