The FSF has the bad habit for their standard-implementations that they tend to add everything including the kitchen sink which might as well be easily handled by other standard tools (think of "cat -v" for example). Even if a suckless implementation of GNU tar was possible, would you really want it to be included? I'd rather like to encourage people to use standard non-proprietary file formats. With best regards Laslo
