[PATCH 0/4] missing: some improvements w.r.t. 'tar'

[Stefano Lattarini]

Each one of these patches is ideally a self-contained, independent
improvement.  The ChangeLog entry of each patch should give enough
details about the "how and why" of the changes the patch introduces.

The series has been partly motivated by automake bug#9822 (which I
hope I'll be able to analyze better soonish enough).

I'll push this series to a new branch based off of maint in 48 hours
if there is no objection; this series will be merged back into maint
once 1.11.2 has been released.

Regards,
  Stefano
