[issue6048] make distutils use the tarinfo command

[Tarek Ziadé <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Currently Distutils uses the "tar" command to build tarballs. 

It's better to use the tarinfo module, so Distutils does not depend on
the "tar" program anymore.
