On FreeBSD we use bsdtar (libarchive) and from my testings it works
great with libreoffice (no regression compared to gnu tar)

here is an attempt to allow checking for both bsdtar and gnu tar in
configure (against build git repository)

A person who tries to compile LibO *is* a programmer++.
So, to make things simple, let's force user having GNU tar, not BSD tar.


I completely disagree. Mac doesn't use gnu-tar by default either, and
the code doesn't make use of gnu-specific features.

It is just with the bashisms in preparation scripts - they get added
because people are not aware, not because it is required.

Same for cp command.
