Ok, i looked a little closer.
1) our tar doesn't have -k
2) pax does have -k but not -C
3) KProcess uses execve: we can't use constructs like bunzip2 -c file | pax -r
to circumvent --use-compress-program etc.

So i vote for gtar here (and hope for KDE 4.0;)
Warning: I don't know c++ or qt3 or the KDE-internals so my conclusions may
be wrong.
