 It is defined in pkgsrc/mk/tools/tools.HPUX.mk.
 
 "././@LongLink" means that this archive is GNU tar archive format (with its 
long filename extension),
 and tar on HP-UX 11.31 does not support it.
 
 In tools.SunOS.mk, TOOLS_PLATFORM.tar will not be defined if gtar is not found.
 tools.HPUX.mk may also be changed.
