Hi

GNU tar has ability to show detailed info on extract in case when more
then one 'v' letter specified like:

$ gtar -xvvzf arch.tar.gz
-rwxrwxr-x ivan/ivan       268 Sep  6 16:40 2004 install
$ tar -xvvzf arch.tar.gz
x install

BSD tar does not, I think this is compatibility bug and should be fixed.

Another problem, gnu tar output -v output while extracting on stdout,
but BSD tar output this on stderr ("tar -xvzf arch.tar.gz | head -n1" no
longer work)

This seems to me compatibility issue too.
