 This port doesn't seem to follow the usual convention (like in coreutils)
 to prefix GNU program's name with "g", while putting original name in
 libexec/gnubin: the port itself is named "gnutar".

 I think the right way for man pages is:
 - /opt/local/share/man/man1/gnutar.1.gz - the file itself
 - /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/man/man1/tar.1.gz - symlink

 Currently it's already like that, but file and symlink are "swapped".
 This can be fixed in Portfile.

 The info file is put here:
 - /opt/local/share/info/gnutar.info

 It seems right, however the file contains menu items like "(tar)..." so
 they work incorrectly from "dir", thus my bug report.  They should be
 "(gnutar)..." instead.
 I can provide a patch to be applied to tar.texi.

 Does it all make sense?  I have not yet contributed to MacPorts, maybe I
 misunderstand something.
