Try gnu tar (1.12?). That's probably where Eli got `Makefile.in.in' 
from.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to build gnu tar out of the box without W95 AND 
numeric tails turned on. Yes that's right, you ABSOLUTELY NEED those 
poxy ~1's otherwise `Makefile.in.in' will be deleted when the 
configure script tries to delete `Makefile.in'. This had me stumped 
for about 6 hours.
