5ddca9040c fix description of `-C' option to match behaviour in the sources:
`-C' can be used both when creating and extracting files.  Further,
a `-C' inside the argument list causes a `chdir()' to the named
directory before the subsequent filename arguments to be interpreted.

Eg:- "tar -cf a+b.tar -C /a . -C /b ."

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

f0681de0c2 Mods to tar (--fast-read) to cause it to stop looking for exact-matching
file specifications when they've been extracted (enabling you to get a file
fast if it occurs somewhere close to the front).
