How to untar when case insensitivity is a problem?

Hi!

I've a tar file created on a case sensitive UNIX system. When restoring this file in OSX, the tar utility shows errors of type "Can't remove already-existing dir: Directory not empty" because on such tar file there're several directories whose names only differ in case.

I'm wondering if there's some way of telling tar to rename these dirs when untar-ing them, or if there's an alternative to tar that could do it.

Thanks a lot!

Asiga
