Isn't the yahoo group just a reflection of this list?

Many UNIX administrators would replacing the OS installed versions
of "anything" improper.  If there are differences in the vendor's tar
and the gnutar you replace it with, it may affect other things of which
you are unaware.

configure has a specific option to tell it where the "gnutar" you want
amanda to use is located.  "--with-gnutar=....."  It doesn't have to
be in your PATH at all because it will be hardcoded during compile.
