    I found two distutils error on windows.

    1. If the implementation of ensure_relative is correct, test should be
      fixed like attached patch.

    2. I got tar error. This happens because tar command I'm using cannot
      recognize path with drive letter. For example, "tar -cf r:/foo ." fails
      with error. I'm using http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm

    Here is workaround for second issue. If there is tar command for windows
    which supports drive letter, I think I should use it instead of
    workaround or fix, though.

    I am currently working on the removal of 'tar' in favor of the usage of
    tarinfo, so I'll get back to you in this issue when it's ready

    I don't think this is a bug in distutils, but rather in the tar command
    that you are using.
