Hi all,
is there any objection to switch the default tar to BSD tar?
GNU tar will be kept, since some features for tape handling
and updating are missing in BSD tar, but the latter does a
better job for the normal use cases.

Keeping both will only produce a confused user. If we are to keep
both of them, some type of information needs to be given about the
missing features.
