Hmmm... What about do not enforce any particular format by default?
Especially if consider that on my FreeBSD automake already enforses
ustar when tries to enforce v7 ;-)
tardir=testprog-0.0.0 && /usr/local/bin/bash
/home/user/tmp/testprog/missing --run tar chof - "$tardir" | bzip2 -9
-c >testprog-0.0.0.tar.bz2
The 'o' option in the 'tar chof -' above means '-‐format ustar' for
bsdtar instead of '--format v7' for GNU tar :-)
