While trying the make dist target I got a warning from tar saying that it wouldn't include webkit-1.0.3/WebKitTools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/TestNetscapePlugin/ForwardingHeaders/WebKit/npfunctions.h in the resulting archive, because the file is larger than 99 characters.

Created attachment 26092 [details] proposed fix by using the ustar tar format we increase the filename limit to 256 characters, which should be more than enough, and keeps things quite portable
