It may not be important most of the time, but for example I'm thinking
of the following case:

There's a tar archive of a whole filesystem containing absolute
symlinks.  Now if the tar is expanded with AVFS the links will point
to the wrong place.  But if they are turned into relative links this
case will work OK.

Of course this won't work if the tar file was not made relative to the
root directory.
