>Description:

	assuming 1.4.x is deprecated in the eyes of pkgsrc-current then
	it's probably time to undo the 'dd' hack which was used to
	prevent 'pax' from asking for tty input when it encounters
	improperly constructed archives

	('-O' was added to pax well before the netbsd-1-5 branch was created)
