What, and break with tradition?!?

It seems to me that it's only GNU tar that's missing man pages - I'm
pretty sure that the other Unixes I use have man pages for tar.  Seems
to me that at least DYNIX, DYNIX/ptx, SunOS and Solaris all have them.
Of course, they don't use GNU tar, but barring any copyright
complications it might be a good place to start.
