So I changed GNU tar to simply call the system strftime. (Calling

counting columns vs counting bytes.
That change would make the function name confusing
What I meant to say, is that the issue of counting columns vs counting
bytes is a GNU tar issue, not a fprintftime issue. Fixing that issue
will involve changing GNU tar; it needn't involve changing Gnulib.
