Whoo, what a mess. Wonder what's The Right Thing. -j looks promising
to me too.
Cygwin uses -j:
`--bzip2'
`-j'
This option tells `tar' to read or write archives through `bzip2'.
RedHat 6.2 uses -I:
`--bzip2'
`-I'
This option tells `tar' to read or write archives through `bzip2'.
I've also encountered -y, but I don't remember which platform.
