Long story short, I'd like to try experimenting with bsdcpio/bsdtar as the primary cpio/tar implementation. I would find it helpful if GNU cpio/tar were installed as gcpio and gtar respectively, with cpio and tar being symlinks.

This replaces the prior inconsistent logic that installed `gtar` symlink on Prefix only.
