Do you mean controlling with '-I' or '--use-compress-program='?
(And I didn't know these options of tar... oh.)
---- from 'man tar'
       -I, --use-compress-program=COMMAND
              Filter  data through COMMAND.  It must accept the -d option, for
              decompression.  The argument can contain command line options.
---- from 'man tar'

Because these options can take a space-containing parameter,
I guess I understand that we would need another variable, as you write.
