Follow-up Comment #54:

OK here's the fix for both tar.m and unpack.m (see bug #43979) as these are
closely related.

Both functions require __w2mpth__.m that converts the Windows path to MSYS
style.
In unpack.m, the last remaining bug I saw was fixed with
make_absolute_filename() - that leaves Windows filesep ("\") intact while
canonicalize_file_name() converted them to "/" (which broke the tests on
Windows).

I tested the fixes on Windows and Linux.

@Rik:
Will you please review and if OK, push the patch? Thanks
