Great, thanks.

It gets much further now:

tar: unknown option -- transform
usage: tar [-]{crtux}[-befhjklmopqvwzHJOPSXZ014578] [archive] [blocksize]
           [-C directory] [-T file] [-s replstr] [file ...]
scons: *** [dist] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Besides of course limiting options to posix, another approach would be
to document a requirement for GNU tar and find it via cmake (gtar is a
pretty good guess on BSD systems), or take an environment variable TAR.

Actually I guess posix specifies pax, not tar, and the format is ustar:

With @tar changed to @gtar, I get a tarball that looks good at first
glance.  I'll see about building it within pkgsrc soon.
