All right.

I've simplified options to Simplify options to CYGPORT_TAR_OPTS and
CYGPORT_TAR_EXT.

This will work:

CYGPORT_TAR_OPTS="--owner=foo --group=bar" cygport baz.cygport package

And if you have tar >=1.31, these will also work:

CYGPORT_TAR_EXT=".tar.zst" cygport baz.cygport package

CYGPORT_TAR_OPTS="--owner=foo --group=bar" CYGPORT_TAR_EXT=".tar.zst" cygport baz.cygport package
