Revert "Workaround for tar hanging when running as root.  Thanks to Peter Dyballa for the suggestion."

This reverts commit 9007f61234af6bf1efc886c17f3047302da395d0.
Use a more global option to deal with the CoreFoundation+localization issue.
Keep version in the normal range.
Use more global option of setting __CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON when we're non-root to deal with the CoreFoundation+localization issue on more than just tar.
Suggest fix for non-absolute configuration paths (typically leftovers from older finks)
Oops, this accidentally got downgraded in the last merge.
