[Bug-tar] GNU Tar and OS X resource forks

[Tony]

With OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Apple switched (again) to bsdtar.  OS X 10.5 
included an Apple-Modified GNU Tar 1.15.1 that was resource fork aware.  I 
would like to use GNU Tar 1.22 and wanted to know if 1.22 was OS X resource 
fork aware, or if a patch exists that can make it so.

Thanks,
Tony
