Subject: binmode on Win32
There seem to be binmode statements missing in order to work reliably under Win32 operating systems (maybe in Archive::Tar::_get_handle and Archive::Tar::File::_new_from_file).

when adding files containing \r\n line endings to an archive they get converted to \n. The resulting archive is corrupt because the block length calculation seems to be confused. Adding binmode $fh; to Archive::Tar::File::_new_from_file solves the problem
