I just found out the hard way that newlib (and hence cygwin) do not
provide <tar.h>.  A patch was proposed in 2005[1], but with no response;
google turned up no further discussion on the topic.

[1] http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2005/msg00099.html

Could this patch please be considered?

Ok, checked in. It never got checked in and there was no follow-up from Ralf who submitted it. The probable reason: nobody cared since no functions reference it; however, yes, it is part of SUSV3, only contains macro definitions, and after two years, one person (you) actually wants it, so I have checked it in.
