----------------------------------------
This ticket is to track the potential bundling of minitar into Puppet for use 
by the puppet module face for building and installing modules:

<https://github.com/halostatue/minitar>

Right now, we have to use the system provided tar implementation which creates 
extra load in regards to: detecting which type (gnutar, bsdtar, suntar), 
detecting the version (and switches supported) and features (some tar 
implementations allow unpacking with absolute paths with no control for 
example).

There is also the problem of the windows platform - whereby unless through 
installation of external tools - tar on Windows will not be available, thereby 
puppet module face will not work.

I propose we vendor/fork minitar ourselves, in a distribution compliant way 
somehow so we can get around these issues.
