Just a point of reference; I'm not proposing that we cater to this:

The Solaris version of tar, sadly, does choke on a fair number of GNU 
tar archives.  Or maybe just the ones we send to our customers. :-)

(Note, also, that these machines are so barren it's unbelievable.  vi, 
no vim or xemacs, years of Solaris security/functionality patches 
ignored, /usr/openwin missing a number of basic libraries and headers... 
ugh.)
