Why do we want

I don't like "gar" as that is pronounceable to the point I could easily
see that being the real name of an existing program.

Also, why do we want ports using gnu-ar specifically vs. what ever is our
native 'ar'?  If our native 'ar' isn't up to the task, we shouldn't be
doing this endeavor at all.
