(a) This is an almost hard-wired limit of MS-Windows; see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363858.aspx
On NT / 2000/ XP systems, it is possible to open files with names up to 32767
characters by prefixing the name with "\\?\", but I'm not sure whether the C
runtime library (msvcrt.dll) allows this.

(b) With the option 

-T <filename>

Bsdtar reads the list of files to be archived / extracted from <filename>.
