At Corinna's request, I've put up a new version of tar on
sources.redhat.com.

This version fixes a bug with excluding files.  It also incorporates a
native '-j' switch which causes tar to use bzip to compress and
uncompress.  This replaces the previous -y option.

Otherwise, this version has all of the changes that I put into the
previous version for dealing with text/binary file problems.

Please send questions and observations to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.

Thanks,

cgf
