Isn't that the wrong way around? The tar format contains a lot of |
| 12 |
padding, so using uncompressed tar for the outer archive would be |
| 13 |
somewhat wasteful. Why not leave the inner tar files uncompressed, but |
| 14 |
compress the whole binpkg instead? |

Also, what would be wrong with ar? It's a standard POSIX tool, and |
| 17 |
should be available everywhere. |
