I create autoconf scripts on a Mac. When tar runs, it puts all of these ._foobar names in the archive:

libewf-20110312/borlandc/builder5/ewfacquire/._ewfacquire.bpf
libewf-20110312/borlandc/builder5/ewfacquire/ewfacquire.bpf
libewf-20110312/borlandc/builder5/ewfacquire/._ewfacquire.bpr
libewf-20110312/borlandc/builder5/ewfacquire/ewfacquire.bpr

Now what's going on is the Apple's HFS filesystem is putting the file properties in the ._foobar names so that they can be restored on another Mac system. But I don't want them --- they are just junk for me. Is there any way to suppress them?
