In GNU tar 1.19, the pax extended header entry for '.'
has the name "./PaxHeader.####/."
$ gtar-1.19 -c --posix -f - . | hd
00000000 2e 2f 50 61 78 48 65 61 |./PaxHea|
00000008 64 65 72 73 2e 38 31 33 |ders.813|
00000010 30 2f 2e 00 00 00 00 00 |0/......|
00000018 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |........|
Generally, '.' is a poor name for something that will
get extracted as a file by a non-compliant reader.
