Yeah, I had a similar thought while writing it, but wasn't quite sure
how that was supposed to be formatted. I modeled my output after what
GNU tar writes, but of course they are expecting a different mtime for
each file.

I'll look into how global pax headers should look.

Moving the strbuf_append_ext_header() call into
write_global_extended_header() should be enough.  The changes to the test
script are a bit more interesting, though.  Perhaps I can come up with
something over the weekend.

Yeah, I have the code itself working now. I'm just slogging through
writing tests that are efficient and portable. I hope to have something
out soon.
