No argument there ;)

My original idea was to add a -M to use memory and that sysinst would
use that - perhaps the opposite behavour would be better.  Then again,
perhaps we could wait for a PR from someone saying that pax gave them
a "Unable to store mode and times for directory" error and worry about
it then - maxdata for a process is probably larger than /tmp on most
systems anyways...
