pixz has wrong instructions for tar on OS X (homebrew) #72

Referred from: Homebrew/homebrew-core#16944

On Mac OS X: pixz 1.0.6 has wrong instructions for using tar. The given instructions are for GNU tar, and not for BSD tar.

tar -Ipixz -cf output.tpxz dir  # Make tar use pixz automatically

The instructions could be changed so that they work with BSD tar. Or, they could be changed to reflect "gtar" which is how homebrew installs GNU tar. I wound up installing gtar myself (because it's useful reading other instructions, from online etc).

As I said in the other issue I wouldn't mind submitting a pull request for this. It's a minor thing, you know, mostly "fit and finish" type of stuff.
