Took some source hacking, at least for me.... 
there isn't a sys/tape.h, and the symbols are 
different in sys/scsi.h.... gnutar is Berkeleyish, 
and you have to do some extra ioctl()'s to get
bsd line discipline active..... you'll need #pragma alloca...
I had to rearrange some procedures to get their declarations
in order.... diffs (standard context) were 461 lines plus
an extra .h file for the #defines so I could map mt-defs to scsi defs...
again, You Want It, You Got It...
