tar fix

[John Collins]

Personally (running Sys III slowly progressing to V as I get the time), I
changed 'tar' to omit the 'chown' unless the extra letter 'o' is specified.
It is then possible to bring up the original ownership etc if required by
the superuser.

Yes I do know about 'cpio' - but it isn't as portable between different kinds
of hardware.

Another fix I find useful is to optionally bypass checksum errors at the user's
own risk.  He is asked in each case whether he wants to continue.
