I thought we discussed everything, so it's now in CVS. I preserved _WITH_GNUAR, for the purposes of being able to upgrade (read: cross-build for a different arch) on earlier systems where bootstrapping BSD ar(1) is not supported -- it's only set by Makefile.inc1, and is not supposed to be set by a human being.
