Well, this went faster ;-) 

I still remember, how the import of the new bc broke some things.

Since tar is a "build" tool for tar balls, for make release, for
installing a FreeBSD and such, I didn't want to produce a "show
stopper".

If the tar 1.12 is tested and perhaps got some fixes in the ports
collection, we can think about integration into the base system.

Wasn't the ports collection there for application and testing
purposes ? ;-)
