I would worry about IS_ conflicting with system headers.  Perhaps we
should just put the check inline, with an explanatory comment, like
this?

	if (header.flags[0] == '1' || header.flags[0] == '2')
	{
	  /* Symbolic links always have zero data, but some broken
	     tar programs claim otherwise.  */
	  size = 0;
	}
