At least after GNU tar is moved to /usr/bin/ it seems to be important that
either a newer version is used _and_ the comnpilation is done in a way that
tells GNU tar to default to the POSIX.1-1988 tar archive format or that the man
mage gets a big warning that GNU tar by default creates non-standard archives
that cannot be read by vanilla tar programs.
A sidenote: Sun should help to tell the FSF that POSIX mentions man(1)
but not "info". Documentation in info style therefore is a second class citizen.
A program thatcomes with info but not with a man(1) compliant documentation
must be called undocumented.
