Comment (by dsampson):

 it might require some clarification... the gnuwin32 project ships two tar
 packages.. gnutar DOES NOT WORK.

 try bsdTAR found here http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html

 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm is the home page
 for libarchive...

 it allows you to chain actions such as

 tar xvjf

 and

 tar cvjf

 I guess it shipps with bzip2 inside the application where the gnuwin32 tar
 and bzip tools are shipped seprately and the tar program was not compiled
 with bz2.

 Just some clarification.
