Error while building on Mingw 32 or 64 on Windows 7 #2

I checked out fresh copy from github, copied kbs.tcl into a build directory, changed into that and entered:

$ ./kbs.tcl -r install kbskit8.6

It gets part way through and then fails with sdx.kit. I know that tar.exe is choking on the c:.... part of the path name. If I change it to /c/ it passes. I suspect this is a problem with Mingw64's tar.exe.
