Thanks for the patches, they look good to me be I'll do a proper review
this weekend if nobody else did before.
Cheers!
It is worth nothing that I also talked to mcf off list and he said
getting a finished implementation of pax might be an even better option
as that is a posix standard

Posix tarballs use extended headers to represent paths and values that do
not fit in the original ustar header format. This patch implements parsing
and handling of a subset of these extended headers. The motivating
tarball was the gcc source code, which exceeds the original path limit.
