Specifying "+info-file" on the command line for gny tar version 1.10
doesn't work.  However the short option, -F, does work.  The problem
is with the initialization of the options parsing structure in tar.c.

The following context diff should fix it.

BTW, does anybody have an up to date manual for gtar?
