GNU tar seems to break when fed filenames on the command-line containing
backslashes, since it tries to decode them using C-style escape sequences,
but never encoded them to begin with. The attached patch should fix this.
It encodes the filenames fed to tar on the command-line, and adds a simple
mechanism for the memory used by the freshly encoded filenames to be freed
when the list of names is no longer needed.
