This source archive includes some pre-applied patches to add a couple of minor features
and to make tar-1.13 compile on modern Linux systems, including x86_64 architectures.

Copies of all the patches are included in the 'patches' directory.

Summary of added features and fixes:

01B-tar-1.13-save-dir-metadata.diff
	adds an option available in later versions of tar to not overwrite directoty metadata
02B-tar-1.13-bz2.diff
	add support for bzip2 compression
03B-tar-1.13-lzma.diff
	add support for lzma compression
04B-tar-1.13-autodetect.diff
	add support for auto-detection of compression type based on file-name suffix
05B-tar-1.13-pet.diff
	add support for the '.pet' file suffix as a gzip-type compression format
06B-tar-1.13-xz.diff
	add support for compression using xz
07B-tar-1.13-no-automake.diff
	disable --recheck in the Makefiles so automake is not run. tar-1.13 uses very old
	versions of the autotools and trying to regenerate the files with modern versions
	breaks the build
08-tar-1.13-argmatch-include-stdlib.diff
	include stdlib.h in lib/argmatch.c to quieten warnings from later gcc versions
09B-tar-1.13-include-time_h.diff
	include time.h in lib/getdate.y to quieten warnings
10-tar-1.13-update.config-guess-sub.diff
	update to later versions of config.guess and config.sub so that tar-1.13 can be
	built on x86_64 systems. The files also include specific recognition of Slackware
	and KISS linux systems
