Re: e2 branch - pre-release

And another one for the pre-release.
The unpack plugin is broken on FreeBSD (maybe others as well):

>tar --overwrite -xpzf /home/marcus/downloads/tarball.tar.gz (30500)
>tar: unrecognized option `--overwrite'
[...]

BSD tar does not have an --overwrite flag. A patch is attached.
