[Python-3000] Py3k: error during 'make install' in py3k-struni ?

[Guido van Rossum]

Tarfile is not from the 1.x days. But you're right, it's hairy. It
also changes too much (e.g. between 2.4.1 and 2.4.3 a refactoring
happened that also caused a new bug. The code has evolved quite a bit
since then and is still evolving... ;-( )
