tar task and symlinks

I am running into a limitation with the Tar task, it does
not seem
able to handle symlinks. Neither untar nor tar.

If I am running an Ant script on an OS that supports
symlinks and I am
untarring a tar archive that contains symlinks I expect
those links to
be created properly. Currently empty files will be created
instead.

Also, when creating tar archives there should be a way to
add
symlinks, even if running under Windows.

Does anyone know something about this issue? Should I submit
a bug report?

Thanks,
Marius
