Stan,
I like the idea of piping tar to tar. I think that will preserve
timestamps, permissions, and the owner, right?
About a symlink: A symbolic link seems much easier than remembering the
vfstab file during an upgrade, but for me doing:
cd /usr/local
cd ..
and ending up in /opt is a little too weird. I know I have some recursive
makefiles that would go nuts if they ran into that sort of thing.
