You mean the whole lot of GNU tar long options including filename rewriting
and masks? I don't see any way such implementation could fit "suckless"
principles.
I would suggest a subset of POSIX tar options. It could be possibly amended
with "z", "Z", "j" and "J" options, though using
$ tar c dirname | gzip -9c > filename.tar.gz
or
$ tar cf - dirname | gzip -9c > filename.tar.gz
is still a better suckless bet IMHO.
