Ideally, Rake should use a bonafide wrapper around libtar since there may come a point where someone on Solaris (or some other commerical UNIX platform) may not have the luxury of using GNU tar. Unfortunately, the project that set out to do this ('archive') appears to be on the backburner while Austin prepares for his wedding.
I did create a project called archive-tar-external a while back that might be useful in the interim, but I'm not sure how you feel about 3rd party packages being used within Rake. If you're interested, I could refactor that bit of code. If not, I understand.

I've applied this and the gem task description changes to my local
working copy. I also included a zip_command in the package task. I'll
commit these when I finish some other changes that are in progress.
Thanks Jim.
