busybox tar supporting -p option (preserving permissions)

[Aizer Danny-BDA023]

Hi,
 
It seems that busybox's tar applet doesn't support the -p option which
is standard for (e.g.) GNU tar. Is there a way to achieve the same
functionality using the busybox tar, or can this option be supported by
busybox tar? Otherwise it seems that tar extracts files and creates them
using the current user's umask, which sometimes means that files have
the wrong permissions after extraction.
 
Thanks,
/Danny
