I've been deliberately using POSIX PAX tar format for quite a while
now (over a year) using automake's "tar-pax" feature, and a
custom-patched automake prior to that. It's required for long
pathnames, a real problem with Doxygen, for example. Now sarge has
been released, is it OK to use newer tar formats?

Roger
