Subject:    Bug#1253: kthememgr installs empty theme files if build tree is symlink

Package: kthememgr
Version: snapshot 990501

I use lndir to make a separate build directory when installing KDE /
kdenonbeta.  In this case, kthememgr installs empty theme files, as
tar stores the symlinks, not the files.  This patch should fix the
problem.

'tar -h' will get tar to follow symlinks instead of storing the
symlinks themselves.

HP/UX does not have GNU tar as 'tar', and the native 'tar' does not
support --exclude.  I wanted the option to use GNUTAR=gtar on this
platform, and moved this program into it's own variable.
