tar 1.25 fail to handle symliks correctly

[yoni levi]

Hi,
I know tar version 1.25 sporadically fail to untar symlinks under cygwin.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-04/msg00335.html

I switch to an older tar version (1.23) and everything is working perfectly.
Since this is a critical bug (tar is practically unusable) - I think you 
should consider switch to an older tar version in the default cygwin 
installation.

Yoni.
