Since April 8 "make package" for Fennec on FreeBSD is broken (see
http://hg.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/pushloghtml?changeset=323cf18c81ad).

The reason for this is that $(UNPACK_TAR) is now directly called in the
installer makefile. UNPACK_TAR is set to "tar -x" which assumes that the
default value for the -f parameter is - (stdin). But on some unices (one
of them being FreeBSD) it is set to the first tape drive (e.g. /dev/sa0).

Setting UNPACK_TAR to "tar -xf-" should cause no harm and avoid breaking
the builds on platforms where some default settings from the days of yore
still prevail.
