You misread my message: what I'm saying is that gar is not opencsw,
although some packages are built with gar. Saying that gar is opencsw is
like saying that the autotools, make and other utilities used to build
packages are opencsw. I'm speaking not only to warm up the discussion
but also to avoid unnecessary reductionism.
