While you can untar it, that's a bit messy, and has caused problems for
me in the past (overwriting the /lib symlink with a directory. The safer
way to use them is to use emerge -K, unless you have managed to unmerge
python, in which case you'll need to use tar and hopefully learn never to
do anything so stupid again...
