As djtar did not support creating tar files to transfer to unix, I compiled gnu tar-1.11.2
which supposed to be beta (for some time now, anyway, I had source for it). Preliminary
tests show that the LFNs works.

I noticed the following:
1. gcc uses *.o  as the default object file (not a big deal really)
2. make (I downloaded the binary) does not support long file names.
3. gcc searches the current directory last. (Work around was to use -I.).

Am I re-inventing the wheel? has someone compiled the gnuish utilities for long
file names? if so, where are the binaries.

TIA
