cgf last released tar 1.13.25 in Nov 2003.  I've just built tar 1.15.1 in
my sandbox with a one-liner tweak and autoreconf; are you interested in
letting me become the tar maintainer?  One of the nice features about 1.15
is that it auto-recognizes the compression type of a .tar.* file, so that
you don't need to use -Z, -z, or -j to extract them.
