While - after reading the tech-pkg@ email - I think that the `${OPSYS}
== NetBSD' try to avoid possible `bsdtar' dependency on non-NetBSD
platforms why the OS_VERSION check is added?

There are several 9.99.x NetBSD versions that were built with pax-as-tar
by default and more in general users can adjust `MKBSDTAR'.


Doesn't the logic in pkgsrc/mk/tools/tools.NetBSD.mk revision 1.67
already handle that?
