Sage needs GNU tar (at least I know the Sun tar is not suitable), so we
need to check that 'tar' is in fact gnu tar, and not some other version of
tar.
On HP-UX there does not appear to be a version of GNU tar on the system.
With Solaris, there is a version called 'gtar' at /usr/sfw/bin/gtar.
One way or another, we need to make sure that the tar that Sage files is
the GNU version.
