I open to new ideas though. :-)The attached patch solves the problem in a more elegant manner IMHO, so I plan to include this modified tar.m4 in my project.Review is welcome, and feel free to include to upstream automake.
Please ignore the previous patch. The one attached here has prettier printing and also works with GNU tar versions that don't return 64 in case of unrecognized option.
Thanks, Dimitris
