The only downside with adding o to tar that I can see is if it isn't
supported by a non-GNU version of tar.
On solaris 9 and 10 at least, tar -o means set ownership of extracted
files to the runner and not the uid in the tar, which I assume is what
we want here.
Note, this is on Solaris /usr/bin/tar
I'd suggest that if this works on...
A) solaris 8+
B) hp-ux
C) AIX 5.x+
D) Free/Net/OpenBSD
it would be safe for 'unix' systems, as there really aren't many other
flavors of 'unix' in common use anymore.
