Anyone know how I might accomplish this?

So far the only way is to write a wrapper script calling "pigz -p 2" and
pass it to tar as "--use-compress-program scriptname".  Unfortunately
the tar docs incorrectly stated that it is possible to supply a complete
command line as an argument to that option, which is not the case.

Oh well.  :-(  Kludgey, but it'll obviously get the job done.

Thanks for the quick response.
