Fellas, can you fix these in tar-mode.el so they don't trip up us long
standing ls -l users' brains:
((eq type 1) ?l) ; link
how about H for hardlink
((eq type 2) ?s) ; symlink
how about l like in ls, otherwise looks like setuid stuff
((eq type 3) ?c) ; char special
((eq type 4) ?b) ; block special
((eq type 5) ?d) ; directory
((eq type 6) ?p) ; FIFO/pipe
these are already like in ls, good.

Ben> This is what tar-mode produces for symlinks. It's not a bug.
