In case you ever change you mind, there is an implementation of tar
written entirely in Perl:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Archive/

This module may be very valuable for you if you want to create packages
not as root. GNU tar cannot be tricked into hardcoding the ownership
different from the actual ones (as far as I know).

Cc: to address@hidden just in case if anybody has an idea how to use
Archive::Tar in Automake itself.
