--- Comment #5 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
In my experience cpio is more common than tar.
And the format seems more stable than that of tar.
Because that cpio in POSIX is replaced by pax,
which does support the cpio format (and ustar).
Maybe we should use pax instead?

I am not going to work it, but patches welcome if someone feels this is
important.
