I'm not in favor of supporting 2.4 that much longer, but I believe we should watch out for using 2.7's tarfile since it probably is not compatible with 2.4.

Agreed.  If I did that, I'd have to make some changes to be compatible.

Does the 2.5 version of tarfile.py work properly?  I would like to use the library version, but I had troubles when I tried it on 2.5 a while back.

It passes the testsuites.  I had make some other adjustments in the code base to compensate for how modern tarfile modules handle certain things, but 2.5's seems to work for me.
