The untar tests for various compression algorithms use shortcut options
from GNU tar to handle decompression. These options may not be provided
by non-GNU tar nor even by slightly older GNU tar versions which ship on
many systems.
An example of the latter case is the --zstd option. This was added in
GNU tar-1.32 (2019-02-23)¹. This version of tar is not provided by
CentOS/RHEL, in particular. In Debian, --zstd has been backported to
the tar-1.30 release.
Avoid the requirement on any specific implementations or versions of tar
by piping decompressed output to tar. This is compatible with older GNU
tar releases as well as tar implementations from other vendors. (It may
also be a slight benefit that this more closely matches what the
snapshot creation code does.)
¹ Technically, the --zstd option was first released in tar-1.31
(2019-01-02), but this release was very short-lived and is no longer
listed on the GNU Tar release page.

The address of the Free Software Foundation has changed since the
license was added in 7640d90 ("Add license file and copyright notices",
2006-12-10). Update the license file from gnu.org¹.
The only non-whitespace changes are the updated FSF address and two
references to the L in LGPL changed from Library to Lesser.

The html documentation is generated using a2x which calls docbook tools
to do the work. The generate.consistent.ids parameter ensures that when
the docbook stylesheet assigns an id value to an output element it is
consistent as long as the document structure has not changed.
Having consistent html files reduces frivolous changes between builds.
Distributions can more easily deploy multiple architecture builds and
compare changes between package versions. End-users avoid needless
changes in files deployed or backed up.
The generate.consistent.ids parameter was added in docbook-xsl-1.77.0.
Older versions gracefully ignore the parameter, so we can pass the
parameter unconditionally. Most distributions contain docbook-xsl newer
than 1.77.0. This includes Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL/CentOS 7.
RHEL/CentOS 6 and Debian Wheezy (old stable) ship with an older version,
unsurprisingly.

The syntax-highlighting.sh script is quite useful without any changes.
Installing it by default makes it easier to use and package.

This borrows from the git Documentation/Makefile. The goal is to make
it easier to add new man pages and other documentation as well as to
prevent make from re-generating the documentation needlessly.

CGIT_DATA_PATH defaults to CGIT_SCRIPT_PATH, but allows users to
install the cgi and the data files in different locations.
