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

Just use the `c' option to cpio and it will output headers as text strings
rather than binary records.

Actually, I think it was very misguided to use the binary headers as the
default for cpio.  Has anyone else considered changing the default?
