Main advantages over other tar implementations:
fifo - keeps the tape streaming.
pattern matcher - for a convenient user interface
sophisticated diff - user tailorable interface for comparing tar
archives against file trees
no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.
deals with all 3 times - stores/restores all 3 times of a file
does not clobber files - more recent copies on disk will not be
clobbered from tape
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives
automatic format detect - automatically detects archive formats:
Old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
fully ansi compatible - Star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.
my very last changes:
- put ftp site before http site
- commented out INSTALL_ALSO_AS_SSSL= yes
because the apache ssl port is currently marked broken
- because of SSL brokenness I removed cgi-bin/nph-eperl from
the PLIST so that this port packages fine ...
This port should be revamped by the author to be organized like the
apache port, because INSTALL_ALSO_AS_SSSL= influences the PLIST.

Obtained from:
1) pw->pw_class was always zero since not copied
2) login_getuserclass() used instead of login_getclass(), so
default class always returned
3) env pointer can be redefined at the moment of setusercontext() call
(default: IS_DEPENDED?=install) target on the depended port, call
DEPENDS_TARGET (default: install) from the depending port.
Other than being more flexible (some ports don't require the
dependency to be fully installed: see ghostscript4), this seems
like a more natural thing to do. (I never understood the
convoluted logic that was used before.)
By building packages with "DEPENDS_TARGET=package", I can avoid
file-sharing problems (like gs3 binary going into the gs4
package).
(2) Add new variable PATCH_SITE_SUBDIR and separate it from
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR. Fixes linuxls port and is a correct thing to
do anyway.
Initially suggested and reviewed by: fenner
(3) Add new variable MASTER_SITE_LOCAL for local ports. Defaults to
LOCAL_PORTS subdir on ftp.freebsd.org's distfiles dir.

- Change the way that the /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/sendmail patches are stored to make future upgrades of the port easier.
- Change the way that the links in the install dirs were being set up.
