  • Apply a patch from Mark Swayne that addresses RT #50471;

Archive::Tar generates file headers with space padded numbers for size,
mtime and checksum. This format is incompatible with some versions of
the busybox implementation of tar (I am using 1.13.2), which requires 0
padded numbers (despite comments in the source that say otherwise).

I've included a patch that adds a control flag that enables zero padded
numbers in the header. It passes all tests with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8
on WinXP.
