Subject: Another fixit improvement: add a lame script that pretends to be
 tar(1), but actually uses cpio(1).  Many people are getting confused about
 the lack of a tar on the fixit floppy, and simply don't know that cpio can
 basically handle tar format fine (or they simply don't know how to invoke
 cpio).
