Hello!

The following diff makes the ark archiver from kdeutils3 use gtar instead of 
OpenBSDs native tar(1).
With our native tar(1) ark errors out because arks wants to use some 
GNU-extensions. While it would be possible to fix ark to use the native 
tar(1), i think it makes more sense to default to GNU-tar. The user should
not need to care about the underlying OS when using KDE.
