yeah, pkgtools/pax is desperately in need of an update. It's on my
list, but I'm not sure when that means I will get to it.. the idea
is to use the NetBSD-current pax source and pkgtools/libnbcompat, if
you want to tackle it yourself for now :)

I wouldn't bother trying to fix problems in the current pax package,
it is too out-of-date and contains too many bugs to be really useful.
