Re: [VMS/committed]: Set extension to archive member

Hi,

VMS archives member names doesn't have extension (only the 'basename' is stored).
But this is not the usual convention for ar, and some tools (libtool) expect that extracted
members of an archive to have the standard object extension.

This patch implements this behaviour, thus making VMS archives more UNIX friendly.

Committed on trunk.

Tristan.

So if one inserts a .o, it extracts as a .obj?
