    The latest version on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ is 1.13. The ones on
    ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/ (and everything else on that site) are
    considered unstable. I suppose it's too late to suggest tar 1.13 as a
    starting point, but maybe this could be kept in mind when importing other
    GNU products.
