Follow-up Comment #6:

@Mike:
no discussion there, I agree. I just forgot to delete the tests (it's that
simple :-) ).

Both tar.m and unpack.m only contain one test that calls tar.exe twice. I'm
not sure all path options are fully explored there.

An alternative I considered initially is to make w2mpth.m a regular function
in scripts/miscellaneous/ - but not just before 4.0.0 release.
The best thing to do at this point is to simply to comment out the tests.

On Linux I saw a FAIL due to __w2mpth__ while running "make check"; the FAIL
is due to the ispc() stanza. So there's another reason to eliminate the tests:
to avoid__w2mpth__ being run in the first place by test.m and friends.

Adapted title & operating system;
