>Description:
	The sysutils/cdbkup package insists to use GNU Tar to configure
	properly. It will not work with our "pax as tar" program because
	it uses some options that we do not provide.

	One of this options is -S, that according to gtar(1) it does:

	-S, --sparse
		handle sparse files efficiently

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	Implement this option.
