TCP, version $version
TCP stands for Tar Comparision Program here.
It currently compares: BSD tar (bsdtar), GNU tar (gnutar) and star in archive
creation, listing, extraction and archive-to-extracted comparision.
Tcp prints out best time of n=$n repetitions.

Tcp creates temporary archive named tcp.tar with $pax and some native
(--seek/-no-fsync) options and extracts it to [\$3]/tcptmp/.
If unset, third argument defaults to [\$2].
After normal exit tcp removes tarball and extracted files.
Tcp does not check filesystems destination directories are on for free space,
so make sure there is enough space (a bit more than source_dir uses) for both:
archive and extracted files.
Do not use white space in arguments.
