[Bug-tar] how to change absolute paths in tar

[address@hidden]

I need to create a tarfile that will be untarred using
tar's P option (absolute paths), but the absolute
directory that I archiving is not the same as the
absolute directory I want tar to extract into.

For example, I want to archive /home/dir1/dir2, but
have it extract into /home/dir2.

I can't use relative paths because the users' already
have the script that contains the tar extract command
(tar xvzpPf...)

Any ideas?
