[Bug-tar] Support for Hurd translators

[Marco Gerards]

Hi,

A while ago we already discussed translator support for tar and the
best thing I could do around that time (Juli, IIRC) was waiting until
GNU tar supports POSIX archives.

Well, I've noticed it has support for this now so I want to add
support for translators.  Is this already possible with the current
state of tar and what do I need to do? (Is there anything I should
know before I start hacking?).

If you want to know more about the translators, actually passive
translators, that will be stored read:

If something is not clear or if you want to know more about
translators, please ask me.

I hope to start hacking soon.

Thanks,
Marco
