 whole section could be cleaned up further, but I think this is a
 substantial improvement over what we currently have.

 Hi Dave,
 {{{
 tar        (GNU tar, version 1.17 or later)
 }}}
 is not quite right. On MacOSX the tar is a BSD tar:
 {{{
 $ tar --version
 bsdtar 2.6.2 - libarchive 2.6.2
 }}}

 Perhaps GNU tar is a Solaris-only requirement...
