test results:
- bb-tar "czf" created archives can be "tzf"'ed with both bb- and gnu-tar now.
- bb-tar "cjf" does not create a valid tbz2-archive -- if fact the result is a
plain tar-file (no compression) -- but does not warn about the unrecognized
parameter combination "cj" (bb does not have bzip2-compression yet, right?).
- cosmetic: versose "-v" does not show any output when used with "create"
