Re: 'tar' in the GNU Coding Standards

[Karl Berry]

Hi David,

Thanks for writing.

    I believe 'tar' should removed from that list, but allow someone to
    select a variable for 'tar'.

In typical Makefiles tar is already a variable, as are others in that
list.  I'm not sure that we need to standardize the variable names for
them ...

Ralf, wdyt?

Thanks,
Karl
