[Bug-tar] tar 1.13.93: DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT name

Hello Sergey and all,

I noticed tar 1.13.93 now has an environment variable for specifying the
default output format.  That is very nice, but I wonder about the name,
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT.  After all, there are a lot of "archive"
programs out there.

I am doing a similar thing for makeinfo in the next release; I just
called the envvar TEXINFO_OUTPUT ("default" seemed redundant).  Maybe I
should change to TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT, and yours could be
TAR_OUTPUT_FORMAT?

Not that any of this is crucial, of course.

Wdyt?

Thanks,
karl
