## Pack the list of files and directories specified in @var{files} into the
## TAR archive @var{tarfile}.
##
## @var{files} is a character array or cell array of strings.  Shell
## wildcards in the filename such as @samp{*} or @samp{?} are accepted and
## expanded.  Directories are recursively traversed and all files are added to
## the archive.
##
## If @var{rootdir} is defined then any files without absolute pathnames are
## located relative to @var{rootdir} rather than the current directory.
##
## The optional output @var{filelist} is a list of the files that were included
## in the archive.
